Storm Eowyn triggers a 24-hour yellow wind warning for the entire Midlands. Passengers are advised to check with airlines for updates.
Birmingham Airport has issued travel advice for those travelling over the weekend as Storm Eowyn threatens to disrupt travel across the Midlands and the wider UK.
An yellow weather warning for wind is in place for Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the East Midlands 23:59pm on Thursday for 24-hours.
The airport has said that while they anticipate that they will 'operate as normal' during the peak of the storm, they recommend passengers check ahead with their airlines before arriving for their flights.
A Birmingham Airport spokesperson said: "Currently, as there is a yellow Met Office wind warning for us, we anticipate that Birmingham Airport will operate as normal.
"As always, passengers should check with their airlines."
According to The Met Office, Storm Éowyn is expected to bring very strong winds and widespread disruption on Friday.
In Nottinghamshire, Friday markets have had to be cancelled in towns including Hucknall, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Worksop.
Bosses at East Midlands Railway (EMR) said the firm was committed to running a full service.
