London Stansted Airport has warned passengers to allow extra travel time

Cold weather conditions could cause further delays and cancellations at London Stansted Airport, bosses have said.

The airport has told holidaymakers to check their travel plans amid a weather warning for the East of England.

Its runway in Essex remained open but passengers were warned to allow extra travel time.

The Met Office said icy patches would be likely to create "difficult travel conditions" on Sunday.

A yellow weather warning has been put in place with safety concerns having been raised about iced-over surfaces.

In a post on X, Stansted Airport said: "Our runway remains open but please check with your airline for up-to-date flight information and allow extra travel time today."

It followed a post yesterday which said cold weather conditions "are impacting some of our airlines, causing some delays or cancellations".

The airport warned of a "busier than usual" terminal while delays were ongoing.
