Storm Éowyn severely disrupted air travel in the UK and Ireland on Friday, causing multiple flights to divert or return to their departure points. Notably, a Ryanair flight from London to Edinburgh attempted landings before changing course to London Stansted after two hours. Another service from London Luton to Dublin also failed to land and returned to Luton after extended circling. The disruption, which airlines like Ryanair attributed to weather conditions beyond their control, could lead to subsequent flight delays due to the airline's quick turnaround model.
"The airline's ultra-low-cost business model relies on minimal turnover times between flights, so Friday's disruption is likely to have knock-on effects on other flights too."
"Ryanair passengers expecting to fly from London to Edinburgh nearly ended up diverting to Cologne."
