Dublin Airport has returned to normal operations on 28 October 2026 after delays on 27 October when strong gusts forced several inbound flights into holding patterns. Operators switched to the crosswind runway 16/34. Storm Beolo and subsequent severe wind conditions caused flight disruptions, holding patterns and cancellations.
Severe gusting southerly winds forced Dublin Airport to switch operations to its crosswind runway. The shift, combined with rapidly changing wind directions, placed multiple inbound aircraft into holding patterns and complicated flight paths. The adverse conditions prompted a high volume of aircraft go-arounds and diversions to alternate airports.
Dozens of weekend and weekday flights were cancelled by airlines due to the severe gusts. Travellers faced ongoing delays and potential further schedule changes due to aircraft and flight crews being displaced out of position by the storm. Passengers were advised to check with airlines for updates while weather warnings remained in place for parts of the country.
The storms without a name arrive don Monday in the wake of Storms Austen and Boelo, which caused 40 cancellations each.
