EasyJet has cancelled a “small number of flights” from UK airports amid "strong winds" from Storm Eunice.

The cancellations will affect flights to and from the UK, EasyJet said.

Storm Eunice has caused travel disruption across the country with many roads, bridges, rail lines and ferry services affected.

Storm Eunice is expected to be the worst storm since the "Great Storm" of October 1987, when wind speeds peaked at 115mph at Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex.

The Met Office has issued two ultra rare “red” weather warnings from 7am until midday, warning that a combination of high tides, strong winds and storm surge could pose "a danger to life".

EasyJet flight cancellations

In a statement on Storm Eunice, EasyJet said: “Due to strong winds impacting parts of the UK today, like other airlines we are experiencing some disruption to our flying programme and have been required to cancel a small number of flights to and from the UK.

“We are doing all possible to minimise the impact of the weather disruption for our customers and have notified those on cancelled flights in advance, with the option of transferring to an alternative flight free of charge or receiving a refund, as well as providing hotel accommodation and meals for customers who require them.

“We continue to advise all customers due to fly with us today to check the status of their flights on our Flight Tracker page for real-time information, and to allow extra time to travel to the airport due to the impact of the weather on local public transport services.

“While this is outside of our control, we would like to apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused by the weather.

“The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always EasyJet’s highest priority.”
