Multiple flights have been either diverted or cancelled this evening at Bristol Airport due to strong cross winds across the runway.

A video shot by a frustrated traveller reveals a long line of stranded passengers anxiously watching information screens for more updates.

A spokesperson for Bristol Airport tweeted: "Several flights have been diverted due to strong cross winds across the runway. Announcements are being made as soon as information becomes available from the airlines. Please refer to your airline for flight specific information

"The EZY Edinburgh has been diverted to Birmingham due to strong cross winds across the runway at Bristol. Please continue to monitor the flight information display screen online for individual flight information.

"The EZY6237 Berlin has been rescheduled for tomorrow. Please see the easyJet app for further details."

Many frustrated passengers took to social media to slam the delays.

Prof Nick Stone tweeted: "Haven’t made it homeward. Weather v bad @BristolAirport attempted @easyJet landing aborted. now @CardiffAirport may have been better staying in Glasgow. May not get home to Devon tonight..."

While Anna-Marie Watson wrote: "Travel plans not quite going according to plan... 1. Bad weather @BristolAirport meant @easyJet diversion to @bhx_official 2. Surrounded by group drunk French emitting alcohol fumes & singing."

And Sorry Charlie said: "Our flight to Dublin was cancelled - which was updated on the Dublin airport website a good 30 minutes prior to actually being announced. Then when we asked for assistance we were pushed from one place to another with no one able to actually assist."

The departure board is now showing that the 8:10-pm to Dalaman is currently boarding, while passengers for Edinburgh and Newcastle are still waiting for their flight information.
