On Tuesday, 9 December 2025, Storm Bram wreaked havoc across Ireland & the UK. Bram was responsible for causing significant disruptions to air travel and power services, besides ground transportation.  By late afternoon of 9 December, over 90 flights were cancelled. These cancellations primarily affected routes between Dublin and the UK, besides Northern Europe. The storm brought violent wind gusts that reached speeds of up to 119 km/h. Bram also prompted weather monitors in as many as 30 countries to issue Status Orange wind warnings. It also left thousands of travellers stranded, with many businesses without power. Although the weather improved by the next day, recovery was still ongoing on Wednesday, 10 December.

 

Widespread damage was witnessed by Bram on 9 December. Gusts moving up to 119 km/h were particularly recorded at Roches Point in Cork. The extreme weather also caused disruptions to air travel at Dublin Airport, which tends to be a key hub for international flight movements, bearing the brunt of the many flight cancellations. As of the latest updates, flight cancellations amounted to 90, with numerous other flights diverted to alternative airports, such as Belfast & even Shannon.

Dublin Airport had issued midday updates advising passengers to check directly with airlines. News outlets had confirmed massive disruptions, which affected key carriers operating at the airport. These were flights servicing Dublin and the UK, besides Northern Europe.

 

Bram caused significant disruptions among many major airlines. The airlines affected by Bram were: Aer Lingus, Ryanair, British Airways, EasyJet, and Emerald Airlines.
