Ryanair warned of delays to UK flights on 1 November as the Met Office issued a yellow fog warning across parts of the country.

Ryanair warned passengers that heavy fog could delay flights to and from the UK on Sunday, 1 November. In a message posted on its website after 3am, the budget airline stated: 'Due to heavy fog, some flights to and from the UK are delayed today. Affected passengers will be contacted directly through the app.'

The Met Office issued a yellow warning for dense fog across parts of the UK covering Bristol, London, Birmingham, Nottingham and Hull, stretching from Norwich in the east to Brighton in the south and from east Wales to Somerset in the south-west. The warning was in place until 10am, but forecasters said fog patches could linger into the afternoon.

Visibility could fall below 100 metres, disrupting not only air travel but also roads, trains, buses and ferries. The Met Office urged people to keep checking local forecasts, warning that 'weather warnings could change'.

Ryanair's biggest UK base is Stansted Airport, where it operates 57 aircraft and serves more than 150 destinations across Europe, Asia and North Africa. Stansted is London's third-busiest airport. The airline has operated from Stansted since May 1991, when it moved its main London base from Luton.
