Jet2 has issued an update for passengers flying to and from the UK tomorrow (Friday January 24) as Storm Éowyn is set to batter the UK.

It comes as The Met Office has issued red, amber and yellow warnings for the UK with “very strong winds” forecast. Rare red warnings are in place for Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland, while an amber warning for wind covers areas of the north of England, including the North East and Cumbria, as well as the south of Scotland.

The rest of the UK, including Greater Manchester, is covered by a yellow warning for wind with gusts of up to 50mph predicted.

The Met Office said that “some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely”. In an update shared on its website, Jet2 said: “The Met Office has warned that there will be stormy conditions, at times, in parts of the UK from Friday and into the weekend. “If you are travelling with Jet2.com we plan to operate our flights as close to schedule as possible, unless advised, however, there may be some disruption should the weather deteriorate.” The airline advises all customers to check in as scheduled.
