Air Malta has cancelled two London flights tomorrow because of adverse weather conditions.

It said flights KM100 and KM101, to and from the British capital, have been cancelled.

"We are doing our utmost to re-accommodate all guests on other flights and apologise for any inconvenience caused due to conditions beyond our control. Efforts will be made to handle the passengers on other flights," it said in a statement.

Ryanair also cancelled its flight to and from Dublin on Thursday night. 

Unrelenting snowfall has ground parts of Britain to a standstill, trapping motorists on roads overnight and threatening air, rail and road journeys across the country.

More sub-zero temperatures, gale-force icy winds and blizzard-like conditions are expected as Storm Emma sweeps in from the Atlantic on the tail of the Beast from the East's chilly blast.

The Met Office escalated a heavy snow weather warning for south-west England and south Wales to red - its highest level - meaning "widespread damage, travel and power disruption and risk to life is likely".
