​A spokesperson for the airport advised passengers not to come to the airport and to contact their airline directly about their flights. 

A spokesperson for Derry City and Strabane Council apologised for the inconvenience caused.

Other parts of the north west were also affected, with flooding causing the partial collapse of a bridge in Claudy.
​
The Met Office has since confirmed that two-thirds of the average rainfall for all of August came down in Northern Ireland on a night.
