Is that all flights or just VS ones?

All flights for a while but the runway was only closed briefly and reopened shortly after 7am.

Thanks. My son and daughter-in-law are caught up on the delays, they’d just messaged me, just before I looked here. Hopefully the delays wont be protracted, it’s not much fun when you have two little ones in tow.
