You can understand why flight operations won’t resume until Saturday.
On Thursday, Dublin Airport confirmed that all airlines had suspended their operations to and from the airport in light of the status red weather warning, which remains in effect until at least 6pm on Friday.
The travel plans of many were affected, including Fredro Starr, AKA ‘Bird’ from The Wire, but safety is paramount after all.
If anyone was in any doubt as to why airlines cancelled operations to and from the airport until tomorrow morning, then a video of a red alert for heavy snowfall posted on Twitter by Dublin Airport on Thursday night might give you an idea.
Safe to say it was wild out there last night…
So this is what a ‘Red Alert for heavy snowfall’ actually looks like @DublinAirport. We’ll have further updates in the morning. Stay safe. #StormEmma #BeastFromTheEast #Snow pic.twitter.com/ENajr7xaFX
