KLM cancels flights from Leeds Bradford Airport to Amsterdam due to strong winds

A flight due to leave Leeds Bradford Airport at 6.10am today was cancelled and another flight due to take off at 5.15pm today has also been cancelled.

The two flights have been pulled due to strong winds at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
