More flights cancelled
After nearly two weeks of baggage chaos and hundreds of cancelled flights, London Heathrow airport was hit by bad weather yesterday, which forced British Airways to cancel 114 flights.
Two runways at Heathrow were briefly closed for de-icing when snow fell in London and air traffic control reduced the number of take-off and landing slots.
On Saturday 12 BA flights were cancelled because of a software glitch. BA has been forced to cancel hundreds of flights since the new hub opened on March 27, becoming a national embarrassment.
