British Airways has cancelled several flights ^[2] from a major UK airpor ^[3]t today (Wednesday 27 September).

It comes after the airline cancelled a number of flights to and from Heathrow Airport last week due to “high winds”.

The airline said last Wednesday (20 September) that the windy weather ^[4] had resulted in Air Traffic Control restrictions which is limiting the number of aircraft that can land/depart per hour at Heathrow.

British Airways said in a statement last Wednesday : “Like other airlines, due to high winds, we have had to slightly reduce our schedule today. We’ve been in touch with customers to apologise and provide them with rebooking options or the option to receive a full refund.”

Today there are more British Airways flights that have been cancelled from Heathrow. Flights to destinations including Paris, Amsterdam, and Barcelona have all been cancelled.
