(1 day later) | |
All flights to and from Inverness Airport have been cancelled following the freezing weather conditions. | |
Dozens of passengers had to spend Hogmanay in the city after snow and ice closed the airport, affecting hundreds of travellers. | |
About 16 passengers opted to stay in the airport terminal to bring in the new year with champagne and pizza. | |
A spokeswoman said the airport had been closed all day on Friday due to the frozen runway. | |
Passengers have been advised to check the airport's website for further information. | |
The spokeswoman said: "Staff worked throughout the night to keep the runways clear and have worked throughout the day to try and clear the ice. | |
"Unfortunately due to ongoing freezing conditions the airport has had to close from 3pm today." |
