Traffic monitoring system Inrix reports: "Reports of flights on hold due to snow affecting flights from Bristol Airport. Passengers should check the status of their flight before travelling. Departure boards show that no flights are currently leaving. Social Media indicate this is because of the snow."

No planes have landed at Bristol Airport yet this morning. The W61019 from Katowice to Bristol appears to be holding above the airport.

So far there appears to be limited disruption at Cardiff Airport. However one traveller shared their experience on Twitter, claiming they had been on the runway for an hour waiting for snow to be cleared.

The Twitter user said: "Cardiff Airport, what a sh*t show. An hour on the tarmac so far, while they clean the snow off the plane. Which they started after we were due to take off."
