Bristol Airport's runway has reopened, but flights are facing major delays today as the schedule recovers from the overnight closure. Most departures are running around 45 minutes or more behind, with knock-on delays to arrivals; the airport's board shows no cancellations. The airport itself is operating, but if you are flying today, check your flight status with your airline and allow extra time.

Update: flights are operating normally again — the departure board shows no cancellations and earlier delays have largely cleared. Still worth confirming your flight with your airline before travelling.
