I`ve just got this info, from Stansted Airport web site:



Temporary runway closure



Stansted Airport's runway is temporarily closed for snow clearing. Further snow fall and icy conditions are expected across eastern and southern England today so passengers are asked to check with their airline and allow extra time for their journey to the airport.



The Stansted Express is currently running a normal service.



During this period of bad weather, we will continue to update this information as soon there are any changes to the current situation.



Great. I`m flying out from Ercan tomorrow, 07.30
