Airport disruption a 'shambles' as flights restart
Disruption because of a runway defect at Bristol Airport continues, as flights start to depart.
Hundreds of passengers were stranded on Friday evening after the decision was made to close the runway shortly after 18:00 BST. All flights were suspended until 08:00 on Saturday.
Flights have since restarted amid delayed take offs and diversions.
In a short statement on the airport website, a spokesperson said: "There will be some disruption to some flights today. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
