Jason Manford Cancels Belfast Show After Storm Amy Forces Flight Diversion

The comedian’s plane could not land at Belfast City Airport in high winds, and a new date will be sent to ticket-holders next week.

Overview

  • A British Airways flight from London City to Belfast aborted its landing in gusty conditions and diverted to Manchester, according to Manford’s updates and venue statements.
  • Ulster Hall’s 3 October performance was called off, with Manford’s team apologising and advising fans to keep tickets for a rescheduled date to be confirmed next week.
  • Manford documented pre‑departure delays as cabin crew offered passengers the option to disembark, and four people chose to leave before takeoff.
  • Footage shared by Manford showed a go‑around during the attempted Belfast landing; after reaching Manchester, passengers waited onboard before ground transport collected them.
  • The Met Office issued multiple Storm Amy warnings with winds reaching up to 100mph, causing wider travel disruption across the UK.
