Hundreds of passengers were left stranded after Bristol Airport was forced to close when thunderstorms knocked out communications with air traffic control.
The airport suspended all arrivals and departures on Monday night after an electrical storm damaged both its ground radar and communication systems.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Bristol Airport said: “Following the earlier electrical storm, Bristol Airport remains closed to arriving and departing aircraft whilst engineers investigate a fault with Air Traffic Control systems. Customers should contact their airline with any specific flight queries.”
The closure led to the cancellation and delay of dozens of flights, disrupting travel plans for passengers heading to destinations across the UK and Europe.
Engineers worked overnight to restore the affected systems and flights resumed on Wednesday morning. However, disruption continued, with some services delayed and a number of flights originally scheduled to depart on Tuesday rescheduled for later on Wednesday.
Passengers have been advised to check the status of their flights before travelling to the airport.
