Leeds Bradford Airport: Cancellations and diversions amid Storm Ashley weather warnings

More than 100 flood warnings remained in place across the UK on Monday after Storm Ashley made its presence felt.

A yellow weather alert for wind, issued by the Met Office, was in place until 9am on Monday morning across the north and east of Scotland and northeast.

The notice warned travellers to brace for potential power cuts and longer journey times.

The first named storm of the season also forced the postponement of several sporting fixtures.

The Environment Agency had 45 flood warnings, where flooding is expected, in place across England, including along the south Cornwall coast and large parts of the River Severn.

At Leeds Bradford Airport, the 19.10 flight from Dublin, the 19.15 flight from Belfast and the 20.45 flight from Dublin were all cancelled.

Three arriving flights were also diverted to different airports on Sunday evening.

The 18.40 flight from Poznan, Poland was diverted to Manchester.

The 20.55 flight from Krakow also diverted and landed at Manchester, as did the 22.25 flight from Palma Mallorca.

Other flights faced significant delays due to the disruption caused by high winds.

The airport is the highest in England and well known as very difficult to land at during storms.
