Belfast airports are warning travelers about potential disruptions due to Storm Éowyn’s red weather alert. Stay updated for flight changes and safety tips.
The red warning kicks in at 7 am on Friday, January 24, and lasts until 2 pm. It’s all about Storm Éowyn, which is expected to bring some serious weather.
Belfast International Airport is keeping a close eye on the situation. They’re working with partners and government agencies to monitor the weather. They expect flights to be affected, so travelers should check with their airlines.
If you’re flying, it’s a good idea to check the airport’s website for updates on departures and arrivals. Cancellations and delays will be up to the airlines.
The airport is ramping up staffing, but they might also have to redirect flights from other airports. This could stretch their resources a bit thin.
Safety is the top priority for everyone involved. Passengers should know that if the winds are too high, they won’t be able to disembark from planes. This is for everyone’s safety, especially for those needing medication or traveling with kids.
If you’re heading to the airport, give yourself extra time. Follow the advice from NI Direct and the PSNI. The airlines and airport staff are doing their best to keep everyone safe, so patience is appreciated.
Belfast City Airport also shared a statement. They warned that bad weather could disrupt flights arriving and departing. Passengers should check their flight status with their airline.
