Responding to flight disruption caused by Storm Éowyn, a spokesperson for the UK Civil Aviation Authority said: “If a flight faces lengthy delays, airlines have a duty of care to look after their passengers, including providing food and drink, and accommodation if overnight.

The body responsible for overseeing flights in the UK has issued information on passengers' rights as more than 1,000 flights were cancelled due to Storm Eowyn. Strong winds and rain have caused havoc, particularly in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
