Storm Bram Triggers Flight Cancellations at Scottish Airports Amid 90mph Winds

Storm Bram brought significant disruption to Scotland, prompting the Met Office to issue amber and yellow weather warnings across large parts of the country. Winds reached speeds of up to 90mph in the north-west, leading to a "danger to life" alert on December 9. The severe conditions immediately impacted commercial aviation and ground transportation networks.In response to the hazardous weather, Loganair implemented flight cancellations to northern parts of Scotland. Irish carrier Aer Lingus also suspended services from Scottish airports, specifically affecting routes to Dublin. Beyond air travel, the storm forced the closure of major bridges, including the Kessock Bridge and Skye Bridge, and caused significant delays on motorways like the M74 due to overturned lorries.Road and rail workers operated through the night to clear fallen trees and debris from tracks and overhead lines, restoring critical infrastructure. Despite these efforts, three yellow weather warnings for wind remained in effect across various Scottish regions, including the Shetland Islands, Central, Tayside & Fife, Grampian, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, highlighting the storm's prolonged impact on travel and public safety.
