KL1057 was the first aircraft to land, just after 00:00 on Saturday morning.
It'll be a tough recovery over the weekend particularly for Easyjet, who must have aircraft and crew all over the place, and a huge number of displaced passengers.

the airfield being owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan does not suggest there is a competent management in place to organise things for an event like this.

There seems to be a flotilla of EZY aircraft moving in at the moment from EXT / STN / BHX, plus EDI arrived in late. I think I've counted 11 in, and it looks like they need 13 off tomorrow morning. It looks like there might be three frames at BOH (OE-IJG, G-EZBU, G-EZUK).
Still a lot of displaced pax from Friday to deal with today though.

That was no taxi incident after landing.

With you on that, a ridiculous state of affairs developing an airport on a foggy hill thats hard to get to by road, when a longer runway was up for grabs next to the M4/M5 interchange.

Bristol Airport ✔ @BristolAirport Following the earlier incident, the aircraft has now been moved and the airport is now open and fully operational. We are working with the airlines to resume the flight schedule as soon as possible but ongoing knock-on delays to flights may be experienced over the weekend.

I agree, it also has a rail line running through, but you need to blame the residents of Chipping Sodbury who waged a vigorous campaign years ago, to prevent Filton obtaining planning permission for change of use to a civil airport. They knew the airport was there when they bought their houses etc. etc.

It’s about time the CAA began enforcing the “rerouting and care” provisions of Regulation 261. Passengers need a lot more than an offer of a refund when this type of **** happens. It’s a cost of doing business, if you don’t like it just go and invest in bitcoin, or something equally safe.
Shambles, nothing but a shambles.
