Mass BA flight cancellations hit thousands of passengers

More than 100 flights were grounded on Friday, ahead of one of the busiest weekends of the year, with the blame placed on “adverse weather conditions in London”.

About three-quarters of Friday’s BA cancellations were at London Heathrow, including holiday flights to and from holiday destinations such as Larnaca in Cyprus and the Spanish islands of Ibiza and Mallorca. At London City, services to and from Barcelona, Florence and Malaga were among 22 cancellations.

To add to the many thousands of passengers who woke up where they did not expect to be on Saturday morning, British Airways has cancelled at least 60 more flights in and out of Heathrow.
