LAST UPDATE | 24 Jan 2025

FLIGHTS HAVE BEGUN taking place in and out of some Irish airports today, following the cancellation of hundreds of journeys earlier this morning across Irish airports due to Storm Éowyn.

Further cancellations and delays to flights “are possible during the remainder of the day” according to an update posted by Dublin Airport.

Flights have also resumed at Ireland West Airport in Knock, Co Mayo.

At least 135 flights that were scheduled to depart from Dublin Airport today were cancelled, according to the airport’s live flights webpage.

Additionally, at least 110 flights that were meant to arrive in the airport today have been cancelled.

Dozens more have been delayed.

However, Dublin Airport has said it’s had its first arrival and departure in the past hour as winds ease.

“Winds have eased somewhat over the past hour, which has allowed flights to recommence,” said a statement on the airport’s social media channels.

“The first departure of the morning was a Ryanair flight to Birmingham at 09.27, followed by a Ryanair flight to Faro shortly after.”
