East Midlands Airport is urging passengers planning to fly to check with their airline for the latest flight information a Storm Eunice threatens to bring travel disruption.
The Met Office has issued a red weather warning for parts of the UK on Friday, February 18, and said there could be “flying debris resulting in danger to life”.
The warning has been issued along the coastline of Devon and Cornwall as well as the south coast of Wales due to extremely strong winds.
Meanwhile, an amber warning remains in place for most of England - including Nottinghamshire - and all of Wales as Storm Eunice arrives on our shores from Friday morning.
The warnings are in place all day Friday until 9pm (February 18).
In a tweet, East Midlands Airport said: "Due to potential disruption caused by Storm Eunice tomorrow, passengers are advised to check with their airline for the most up-to-date flight information.
"We also advise allowing plenty of time for your journey to the airport, as road and rail networks may be affected."
National Rail said that, as of 7am on Thursday, dozens of train companies had been affected in the north of England, the Midlands, Wales and across most of Scotland, including LNER, Transport for Wales and ScotRail.
It added that due to damage to the overhead electric wires between Bedford and St Albans, some lines are currently blocked on the East Midlands Railway and Thameslink lines.
It comes ahead of Storm Eunice, which is predicted to bring in winds in excess of 95mph in coastal areas, while inland areas could still see gusts to around 80mph, the Met Office added.
Meanwhile, East Midlands Railway managers have warned passengers not to travel on Friday.
