The airline advised anyone travelling to or from the UK today to check the Ryanair app for the latest updates on their flight status.

This precautionary measure aims to keep travellers informed about any changes to their scheduled services.

The airline emphasised that the situation is "outside of Ryanair's control" and "affects all airlines operating to/from the UK" today.

However, the low-cost carrier did express regret for any inconvenience caused to passengers.


For the most up-to-date information, concerned flyers can visit Ryanair's Latest Travel Updates page.

The Irish carrier also has a dedicated web page on cancelled, delayed and rescheduled flights, for those who have further questions.

Here, the airline offers important information on the different options available to passengers affected by flight disruptions.

Ryanair confirmed that compensation will not be offered in the case of "extraordinary circumstances", which include adverse weather conditions, de-icing, lightning strikes, runway/airport closure, strike action, issues with Air Traffic Control, bird strike, foreign object debris, external handling difficulties, and security and medical emergencies.

Britons travelling with other airlines should keep an eye out for similar updates today, as the adverse weather conditions will likely affect these journeys too.
