Traffic was halted during the busy summer holiday season for two hours before the first of the airport’s landing runways was able to operate again at 5:02am, said a spokesman at the airport.
A departures runway reopened shortly afterwards, said the spokesman, with a second to follow imminently.
Passengers were advised to check the status of their flights while the airport ramps up its operations again.
