Overview
- Engineers closed one runway after a taxiway surface failure, leaving the airport operating on a single runway.
- Heavy rain and poor visibility under Met Office warnings, including yellow and some amber alerts, reduced capacity through the day.
- Air traffic controllers capped inbound flights, and late arrivals triggered knock-on delays across the schedule.
- Local reporting cited more than 200 delayed services, with average waits around 70 minutes and several multi-hour hold-ups.
- A handful of cancellations were confirmed across carriers such as easyJet and Ryanair, and the airport urged passengers to check with their airline for updates.
