Flights in and out of London City Airport resumed after a passenger plane crash-landed on the runway on Friday night.
Some passengers were facing delays of more than three hours.
An airport spokeswoman said: "We have resumed normal operations. There will be some slight delays down to the fact aircraft were in different airports after being diverted.
"We do need to get those aircraft back into London City but flights have been taking off and landing throughout the morning.
"There shouldn't be too many cancellations, it's more a question of delays."
She advised passengers to check with their airline before travelling. There are about 65 flights scheduled from the airport on Saturday.
On Friday at about 7.40pm flight BA8456, with 67 passengers and four crew members on board, crash-landed on the runway, with the front wheel coming off as the plane hit the ground.
Passengers and crew were evacuated from the plane by emergency slides, and four people were treated for minor injuries.
The airport was closed and 11 flights were diverted to neighbouring airports.
BA flights to Lyon, Nice and Zurich were all delayed, with those hoping to reach France facing a wait of at least three and a half hours.
