Flights to and from both Belfast International Airport and Belfast City Airport have been cancelled as Storm Éowyn brings disruptive winds to Northern Ireland.

Flights right across the UK and Ireland have been impacted by the rare red weather warning for severe winds.

A spokesperson for Belfast International Airport said: “Operations at Belfast International Airport remain limited during Friday’s Red weather warning as Northern Ireland experiences the impact of Storm Éowyn.

“PSNI have advised that people should not travel on roads within the Met Office’s Red weather warning area – passengers should continue to follow that advice.

“Across the airport site we have experienced intermittent power outages, and we are working with our airline partners to understand how their flights will be impacted as the day goes on.
