Storm Bram brings UK flight disruption alerts

Almost two dozen airports face potential flight disruption as Storm Bram triggered severe weather warnings across the UK today (Tuesday). 

 

The warning was issued by Loganair, which enabled passengers the option to adjust travel plans without charge.

 

This came as the Met Office upgraded a yellow warning to amber in western Scotland and the Hebrides due to gale-force winds and heavy rain.

 

The yellow warning was also updated to include other regions and Northern Ireland.

 

Belfast City airport advised travellers to check the status of their flights and contact their airline directly for the latest updates “due to adverse weather conditions expected across the UK”.

 

Other airports highlighted by Loganair as being affected by the storm include Aberdeen, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Inverness, Liverpool and Manchester.

 

The UK’s largest regional airline said: “We plan to fly all our scheduled services. 

 

“Standby aircraft and crews are in place to help recover disrupted services as soon as weather permits.

 

“You can choose to re-book on an alternative flight up to 14 days from your original travel date. There will be no change fee or difference in fare payable. 

 

“If a seat is available on an alternative flight, you can transfer your booking to that flight without charge on a first-come, first-served basis."
