A number of flights travelling from Dublin Airport on Friday have experienced delays and cancellations due to poor weather at some UK airports.

The Met Office (the UK’s meteorological service) issued a yellow warning for ice across large parts of the UK stretching into Friday morning, with isolated snowfall expected on higher ground in England, Wales and Scotland.

A number of airports have been affected, including London Luton, London Stansted, Birmingham and Glasgow.

At the time of writing (approximately 11.25am) as many as 21 flights have been delayed travelling to Dublin Airport.

Flights both to and from Birmingham have been cancelled, with Glasgow airport announcing at 9.40am that they are suspending services until snow is removed from the runway.

People travelling to London were forced to stay overnight in Stansted Airport following the cancellation of dozens of Ryanair and Easyjet flights due to snow.

An Aer Lingus flight from Los Angeles, scheduled to arrive in Dublin at 2pm on Friday, has also been cancelled.

Passengers are being asked to double check their flight information with their provider before travelling.
