Airlines issue fresh bad weather disruption warnings

Jet2 and Ryanair have renewed warnings over winter weather affecting flights.

The latest alerts for today (Friday) came ahead of Storm Bert hitting the UK with gales, heavy rain and snow this weekend.

Jet2 reiterated advice issued earlier this week, saying: “The Met Office has warned that wintery conditions are due to impact parts of the UK in the coming days. 

“Our operations team are continually monitoring the UK forecast to provide the most up to date information for all Jet2.com departures and arrivals during this period. 

“As usual, we plan to operate all our flights on schedule. However, there may be some disruption if the weather worsens.

“Please arrive at the airport as normal (our check-in desks close 40 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time). Our friendly Red Team will be on hand in the terminal to keep you updated and we plan to board all our flights on time.

“If your flight is disrupted, we’ll contact you via SMS and email.” 

Ryanair noted on its website that snow and ice could lead to “potential disruptions”.  

The budget carrier said: “Affected passengers will be notified and any passengers travelling to/from The UK on 22 November should check their Ryanair app for the latest updates on their flight.

“We regret any inconvenience caused to passengers by these weather conditions, which are outside of Ryanair’s control and affect all airlines operating to/from the UK.”
