Flights suspended at Leeds Bradford Airport
STRONG winds have led to all flights in and out of Leeds Bradford Airport being suspended.
A spokesman for the airport said it had been hit by gusts of up to 50 knots, causing delays and a number of cancellations.
Passengers are being urged to check with their airlines before travelling, although it is hoped flights can be resumed later this afternoon.
"The winds have affected the whole of Yorkshire," said the spokesman.
"It is very frustrating for passengers trying to fly over the Christmas period, but we are hopeful of getting flights back underway later this afternoon."
