Flying away today? Well, you better check with your airline if your flight is still going ahead…
Storm Ali has arrived, putting 17 counties in Ireland under an Orange weather warning,while the rest of the country is under Status Yellow.
The updated weather warnings were issued this morning, and now Dublin Airport has announced that a number of flights will be delayed or cancelled due to the high winds we’re experiencing.
At the time of writing, the majority of the cancelled flights appear to be between Ireland and the UK, with some additional flights (specifically arrivals) from mainland Europe also cancelled this morning.
High winds due to #StormAli will have an impact on the flight schedule today. Some flights already cancelled. Please check with your airline before coming to the airport. Departures info here https://t.co/2bD7lEWGaJ. Arrivals info here https://t.co/ckiUMjBwFf. pic.twitter.com/bPgNBTFqAv
