Travellers from across the globe due to arrive at Leeds Bradford Airport today have been thrown into chaos as Storm Eunice forced their flights to divert.
The onslaught of heavy rain and treacherous winds battering the UK have led to the majority of incoming flights being either cancelled or diverted to other airports across the country.
At the time of writing, the majority of flights have been diverted to Edinburgh airport, but other have also been sent to Newcastle and Teeside.
