British Airways Cancel Heathrow Flights

10th August 2006 Taken from www.ba.com

"British Airways, along with all other airlines, is experiencing major disruption to its operations at London Heathrow today, Thursday 10 August , because of the severe airport congestion, following the introduction of new security arrangements.

All British Airways shorthaul (UK and European) inbound and outbound flights to and from London Heathrow up until 3pm (BST) this afternoon are cancelled.

Any customers, both longhaul and shorthaul, who do not need to travel to or from London Heathrow today are advised to stay at home.

It is likely that there may be a number of longhaul cancellations from London Heathrow during the day.

British Airways flights at Gatwick and flights operated by the airline’s regional subsidiary BA Connect, are continuing to operate albeit with delays.

British Airways has put a policy in place which outlines re-booking options and procedures for customers affected by this flight disruption. This policy can be viewed at: http://www.britishairways.com/travel/stdpolicy/public/en_gb "
