This morning, flights at Belfast City Airport have been thrown into chaos due to a plane crash-landing on the runway last night. The culprit behind this disastrous event? Extreme weather conditions. As a result, four flights have been cancelled and nearly every departure before 10am has been delayed. One flight, headed to London Heathrow, is now expected to depart four hours later than scheduled.
Unfortunately, this isn't the only airport facing weather-related issues. Yesterday, over 100 flights from Heathrow had to be cancelled due to severe weather. And today, an additional 80 flights are expected to experience significant delays, primarily those traveling domestically or to Europe.
But it's not just air travel that's being impacted by Mother Nature's wrath. Overnight snow on the M62 has forced the closure of at least one lane, causing potential delays for those on the road. And for those hoping to take a ferry, be prepared for possible cancellations due to adverse weather conditions.
Train passengers are also in for a rough day as Northern has cancelled all trains on 11 of its lines, while Thameslink is announcing delays on many of its services. It seems like no mode of transportation is immune to the effects of this wild weather.
Although the Met Office lifted yellow weather warnings at 9pm on Sunday, they are still urging travelers to exercise caution. They predict a "Grey Christmas" with some sunny spells and "extremely mild" temperatures. While this may sound pleasant, it's important to remain vigilant and stay safe during these unpredictable conditions.
