Bristol Airport in the United Kingdom suspended all flight operations on Friday evening following a defect discovered on part of its runway, leaving passengers stranded and flights diverted to other airports.
The airport halted departures and arrivals at about 6:08pm on Friday and initially said the suspension would remain in place until 8am Saturday.
GB News on Saturday reported that the disruption was extended into Saturday morning as officials carried out inspection and repair work on the affected section.
The airport said the suspension was a precautionary measure and that safety remained its priority.
It directed passengers to contact their airlines for information about individual flights, while EasyJet warned travellers flying to and from Bristol to expect continued disruption.
Passengers described confusion at the airport during the initial shutdown, with some reporting limited information and difficulty retrieving their luggage.
