The airport reopened on Saturday (21 October) at 11.30am after Tui flight TOM 3551 from Corfu slithered off the runway due to the torrential downpours brought by Storm Babet.

 

Both Leeds Bradford airport and Tui confirmed there were no reported injuries or fires at the scene and all passengers had safely disembarked.
