Fog affects flights at Dublin airport

Flights in and out of Dublin airport were affected today by heavy fog across the South of England. City of London airport, which provides a number of business routes for Irish and English businesses, was one of the most affected airports and it grounded a number of scheduled flights. Thus far this winter, the mild climate has lead to minimum or no flight disruptions due to weather, however today’s occurrence will lead to aviation fears of a repeat of 2010. With Ash Clouds and heavy snow featuring prominently last year, it cause major headaches and financial repercussions for airlines, passengers and many other parties linked to the aviation industry.
