Leeds Bradford Airport statement as flights diverted or delayed

Flights arriving at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) tonight (Mon) are being forced to land elsewhere or have been delayed due to "very dense fog."

LBA has confirmed "adverse weather conditions" have caused "disruption to flight schedules" with some flights being diverted to Manchester, Liverpool and East Midlands earlier today. Passengers are being urged to check the status of their flight with their airline or tour operator.

Seven flights from Krakow, Faro, Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga, Belfast and Ivalo have all been diverted away from LBA since 12pm.
