Liverpool John Lennon Airport has experienced significant disruption today, with 26 flights cancelled following severe winter weather in the region. A thick layer of snow that fell across parts of Merseyside yesterday has persisted into the morning, now forming patches of ice that have made runway operations unsafe.
The airport confirmed that the runway was temporarily closed earlier today to allow for de-icing and safety measures, affecting both arrivals and departures. Travelers have been advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport, as conditions remain unpredictable.
Airport officials, in coordination with local authorities, have been working to clear the runway and surrounding areas, but the combination of lingering snow and icy patches has slowed operations. Passengers have reported delays, with some flights being rescheduled or cancelled entirely.
The ongoing winter weather has also affected road conditions leading to the airport, adding further challenges for travelers. Officials urge the public to exercise caution and allow extra time for travel.
Liverpool John Lennon Airport said it is monitoring conditions closely and will provide updates as soon as flights can safely resume. Passengers are encouraged to remain in contact with airlines for the latest information and consider alternative travel arrangements if possible.
