The runway at Birmingham Airport has partially reopened following heavy snow last night.

Flights were cancelled at BHX last night as the airport shut following Storm Goretti.

But an update at 7.28am said flights were starting to resume.

It said: "Our runway has reopened on a reduced basis, and our teams are working to get passengers away as efficiently as possible.

"Whilst we apologise for any inconvenience Storm Goretti has caused, the safety of our colleagues and customers is our number one priority

"Passengers due to travel are advised to check the status of their flight with their airline."
