Passengers travelling through Bristol Airport are continuing to experience significant disruption after emergency runway repairs forced the airport to close on Friday evening.
Airport officials confirmed that flight operations resumed at 8am on Saturday, but warned travellers to expect ongoing delays and cancellations throughout the day as airlines work to recover their schedules.
In a statement, the airport said flights had restarted but advised passengers to check directly with their airlines for the latest information regarding departures and arrivals. Officials also apologised for the inconvenience caused by the disruption.
Several early-morning departures were heavily affected. A Jet2 service to Faro in Portugal, originally scheduled to leave at 5.55am, was delayed by more than five hours and is now expected to depart at 11.29am. Meanwhile, an EasyJet flight to Larnaca, Cyprus, scheduled for 7.15am, has been pushed back until 2pm.
A number of flights have also been cancelled, including EasyJet services to Newcastle, Edinburgh and Pula in Croatia.
Arriving passengers have faced disruption as well. No aircraft were able to land at Bristol Airport before operations resumed on Saturday morning, creating knock-on effects across multiple routes.
The airport closed on Friday to allow emergency repairs to be carried out on the runway. While the repair work has now been completed and flights have resumed, the impact continues to be felt across the airport's network as airlines reposition aircraft and adjust schedules.
Travellers are being urged to monitor flight updates closely and allow extra time for their journeys as the airport and airlines work to restore normal operations.
