Airports in Manchester and Liverpool are resuming flights after they closed their runways due to heavy snowfall.

Flights were delayed from taking off at both airports as travellers were advised to contact their airlines for details.

Passengers who were due to fly into the airports were also diverted to London and Glasgow overnight because of the poor weather.

Manchester Airport said "some departures and arrivals may experience delays as our teams work to de-ice aircraft and clear walkways".
