Meanwhile, passengers were left stranded 500 miles away from their intended destination after their Manchester to Dublin flight was forced to divert to Paris as the storm rolled in on Sunday.

The flight, which was initially due to land at Dublin International Airport at around 3.30pm, was already delayed by an hour when leaving  on Sunday afternoon.

However, due to 'dangerous' winds, the plane was forced to circle over the Irish Sea multiple times before aborting its landing and instead flying to Paris Beauvais-Tille Airport, landing shortly before 5.30pm.

Dublin International Airport had already issued a public warning about possible flight cancellations, delays and a stream of aborted landings, with numerous other flights diverting to Manchester and other airports across the country.

Two hours later, at 7.30pm, one passenger on board the Ryanair flight said those on board were still stuck on the runway in Paris. 

Journalist Nicola Bardon, who was among those on board, said that the situation was a 'nightmare' and that that passengers remained sat on the plane for hours after landing, but that spirits remained high.

'We were already delayed leaving Manchester,' she said. 'We got to Dublin and were over the runway, and then the next thing, we were back in the sky.

'We attempted [to land] again and then the pilot made an announcement that Dublin was too windy and that Manchester was full, so we were going to the East Midlands.

'About 20 minutes later, we were updated to say the UK airports were not an option and that they had made the decision to go to Paris Beauvais.

'There was a big laugh from the passengers when the pilot informed us of Paris initially. 

'One person yelled "Welcome to Pari, would prefer to be in Kerry".

We have now been on the runway for over two hours with no information since just after we landed.

'It's a nightmare. Phones are dead, they have run out of food and drinks and we are facing another 90 minutes on the runway and there is still chance of another diversion.
