More than 600 flights have been delayed and dozens cancelled at two major UK international airports due to adverse weather conditions, causing significant disruption for travellers.
Heathrow and Gatwick hit by delays
Heathrow and Gatwick airports have experienced widespread delays, with some passengers reporting waits of up to six hours. The disruption has affected both departing and arriving flights, leading to long queues and frustration among travellers.
Weather causes cancellations
In addition to the delays, dozens of flights have been cancelled as airlines struggled to maintain schedules. The exact number of cancellations has not been confirmed, but the impact has been felt across both airports.
According to a spokesperson for Heathrow, "We are working closely with airlines to minimise disruption and keep passengers informed." Gatwick also advised passengers to check with their airlines for the latest updates.
Travel advice for passengers
Passengers are urged to check their flight status before heading to the airport and to allow extra time for travel. Airlines have been providing rebooking options and accommodation for those affected by cancellations.
