Heathrow Airport announces more flight cancellations

Heathrow Airport has asked airlines to remove 30 flights from Thursday morning's schedule because it is expecting more passenger numbers than it can currently cope with. A Heathrow spokesperson said the airport would work with airlines to try to rebook passengers onto other flights, "As many as possible" for later the same day. If your flight is cancelled, you have the right to either a full refund, or a replacement flight. If the flight was cancelled with 14 days or less notice, you may also be entitled to compensation - but only if the airline is at fault. "If it's a direct result of the airline, you're entitled to compensation, but if it's the airport, your compensation doesn't kick in," says Mrs Lo Bue-Said.British Airlines said "a handful" of their flights are affected, Virgin Atlantic said one of their Heathrow to New York return services has been cut in each direction, with Air France, KLM, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Lufthansa, Aer Lingus, Brussels Airlines and Air Canada also affected.
