Glasgow Airport runway open, flights to resume after heavy snow

Glasgow Airport on Saturday said its runway was now fully operational and it would resume flights after planes were grounded earlier due to heavy snowfall. "Our runway is now fully operational again and we are working with our airline partners and their handlers to resume flight schedules," Glasgow Airport said. The Scottish airport had earlier said flight operations were suspended because of a combination of heavier than forecast snow and freezing conditions throughout the night and early morning. Britain's Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice across parts of northwest England and southern Scotland, with wintry showers expected to lead to some icy patches and snow cover in places.<br/>
