Heathrow Airport explains the decision to cancel flights

A Heathrow spokesperson said:

“Our teams have been working throughout the night and as a result Heathrow’s runways remain open and fully operational.

“We’ve worked with our airlines to consolidate today’s flight schedule, moving passengers on to fewer flights.

“This decision enables us to provide more certainty to passengers around departing flights, whilst ensuring safety and service standards.

“As always, we advise passengers to take care when travelling to the airport and ensure they check their flight status with their airline before coming to Heathrow.”

Flight cancellations vary from airline to airline based on the location of their aircraft/crews and their ability to de-ice their aircraft.
