Ryanair has issued a travel warning as flights to and from East Midlands Airport face potential disruption today.
A temporary runway closure, which began this morning on Wednesday, May 14, is "affecting all airlines" that operate services at the airport.
Passengers scheduled to travel through East Midlands today should prepare for possible schedule changes.
Affected passengers will be notified directly about any changes to their travel plans.

Ryanair advised all travellers flying to or from East Midlands Airport today to check their Ryanair app for the latest updates on their flight status.
The airline apologised for any inconvenience caused to passengers by the temporary runway closure, but emphasised that "the situation is outside of their control".
This comes just days after Jet2 updated Britons on possible delays due to strike action in France earlier this week.
Passengers were told: "We just want to let you know that strike action, supported by French Air Traffic Control on May 13, 2025, may cause flight delays to French airports or through French airspace.
"Rest assured, we'll try to keep any disruption to a minimum. Check-in will close 40 minutes before your scheduled departure, so please arrive at the airport at least two hours before departure."
Jet2 urged passengers to check their website at least 12 hours ahead of travel for the latest information on their flight.
Flyers were encouraged to get to the airport around two hours before their flight's scheduled take-off time.
Strike action can cause immense travel chaos, prompting delays and cancellations often at very short notice.

British holidaymakers are no strangers to travel chaos. Just last weekend, mayhem ensued at Stansted Airport due to an ongoing IT issue.
Passengers reported "total chaos" at the busy London hub, with one stating: "I queued outside the airport for one hour and am now returning home. It was the cabin bag only queue, but it moved barely five to 10 metres in one hour."
A second traveller described it as "absolute carnage", while a third reported that tensions were "high".
