British Airways has cancelled several flights from a major UK airport today (Thursday 21 September).
It comes after the airline cancelled a number of flights to and from Heathrow Airport yesterday (Wednesday 20 September) due to “high winds”.
The airline said yesterday that the windy weather has resulted in Air Traffic Control restrictions which is limiting the number of aircraft that can land/depart per hour at Heathrow Airport.
British Airways said in a statement yesterday: “Like other airlines, due to high winds, we have had to slightly reduce our schedule today. We’ve been in touch with customers to apologise and provide them with rebooking options or the option to receive a full refund.”
Today there are more British Airways flights that have bee cancelled from Heathrow. Flights to destinations including Rome, Paris and Copenhagen have all been cancelled.
Yellow weather warnings were issued by the Met Office across a number of regions yesterday. A wind warning was in place for the Highlands & Eilean Siar and Strathclyde in Scotland from 1pm to 9pm.
The forecaster has also issued a rain warning for several regions across the UK including North East England, North West England, Wales, and Yorkshire and the Humber.
The weather warning was in place from 4pm yesterday until 3am this morning. The Met Office said the outbreaks of rain which are likely to be “heavy at times” may “lead to some flooding”.
