At this stage, it is unclear whether anymore flights will be cancelled as a result of Storm Babet, especially as the storm continues to pass through the Aberdeen area at high intensity.
Winds out of the airport are expected to gust as high as 57 knots, which for many commercial aircraft, is unsafe to perform landings or departures from. Courtesy of METAR TAF, here is the expected changes for today:
