Dozens of flights have been diverted or cancelled
Leeds Bradford Airport has issued updated travel guidance after Storm Boelo threw flights into chaos this morning.
A yellow weather warning for severe wind is in place across Leeds and West Yorkshire from 12pm on Saturday (October 24) through to 9pm on Sunday (October 25).
Widespread gusts of 55mph to 65mph are expected across West Yorkshire, with exposed higher ground nearby potentially seeing gusts approaching 70mph.
As a result dozens of flights have been diverted or cancelled at Leeds Bradford Airport and the airport has advised all passengers to check check directly with their airline for the latest updates.
An airport spokesperson said: “Our teams on the ground are working hard in challenging weather conditions to support customers and manage the on-going impact of the disruption caused by Storm Bolelo.
“If you are due to arrive at LBA within the next 24 hours, please check directly with your airline for the latest updates.
“We appreciate that this is a challenging situation. Our teams are working in very difficult conditions to support passengers as best they can. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
