Storm Éowyn: important information released by Belfast International Airport

Operations at Belfast International Airport will be limited today (Friday) with the arrival of Storm Éowyn and the issuing of Northern Ireland's first-ever red weather warning.

A spokesperson said: “PSNI have advised that people should not travel on roads within the Met Office’s Red weather warning area – passengers and staff are urged to follow that advice.

“The airport remains in conversations with airline partners and will seek to facilitate their operations where we are able to do so. Airlines will make decisions on the operations of their own flights. Passengers should continue to contact their airline for their latest flight information. This is a fast-moving situation and flight schedules will continue to change over the coming hours so passengers should continue to check with their airline throughout today and tomorrow.

“Translink will not operate any Airport bus services for the duration of the red weather warning so passengers should make alternative arrangements.

“We will provide updates when we can but we would also advise passengers to check with their airlines for the latest information on their flights.”
