In recent weeks Dublin has been covered by snow that has caused a lot of problems for Dublin airport. In fact the airport has reopened only this morning at 7:45, and over the last few days half of the flights have been cancelled; more than 200 flights.

All the arlines have had problems: Aer Lingus for example have had to cancel all of today's flights and Aer Arann have cancelled 6 flights and diverted two other more.
Moreover all flights from Galway and Waterford and some flights from Dublin to Cardiff and Cork have been cancelled. The passeggers have been advised to contact their airlines for further information about the flights in the next few hours

Also some flights to England have been cancelled; in fact also there, the airlines had some problems because of the bad weather. Gatwick Airport was forced to the close yesterday and also some flights from London were cancelled in the last few days. The airlines said passengers on cancelled flights to or from the UK would be re-booked on to later flights.

Luckily the weather is improving and the authority say there is no snow forecast tonight and that normal flight operations should resume in the morning.
