UK Fog Causes Flight Disruptions
10 Nov
Summary
- Heavy fog caused flight delays and one cancellation at Manchester Airport.
- Ryanair warned of potential UK flight delays due to dense fog.
- Saturday saw 15 diverted flights and several go-arounds at Manchester.
Heavy fog blanketed parts of England, including Greater Manchester, on the morning of November 9, 2026. The Met Office issued a yellow warning for fog, which remained in effect until 11 a.m. This weather phenomenon caused challenging conditions for travellers, with potential for rail, road, and air travel disruptions.
Manchester Airport experienced several flight delays as a result of the fog. Ryanair had alerted passengers to monitor their flight status. While some flights departed late, initial reports indicated no major cancellations early on November 9. However, British Airways flight BA1365 to London, scheduled for 11:55 a.m., was later cancelled.
Conditions on November 9 were less severe than the preceding weekend. On Saturday, November 7, 2026, 15 flights were diverted from Manchester Airport due to fog, and other aircraft reportedly performed 'go-arounds' as arrivals were managed. As the fog began to clear on November 9, weather-related disruptions were expected to ease.
