A severe weather warning has been issued for the UK on Monday 28 October. As it is expected to bring heavy rain and high winds, we anticipate some flights to and from the UK and transport links to UK airports may be affected. We anticipate publishing any changes to our flying schedule for Monday 28 October later on Sunday 27 October. We apologise in advance for the inconvenience caused by the poor weather but the safety of our customers is our top priority.

Summary

British Airways has complied with a request from Heathrow Airport to reduce its flying schedule on Monday 28 October as a result of the severe forecast storms.

The airport has instructed all airlines using Heathrow to reduce their schedules in the following manner on Monday:
Between 0600 and 1100 a 20 per cent reduction in the schedule has been applied
Between 1100 and 1600 a 10 per cent reduction in the schedule has been applied
Between 1600 and 2230 a 5 per cent reduction in the schedule has been applied
All of the agreed cancellations for British Airways are from the European and domestic networks.

My flight (9.40am) is still operating at the moment but liable for serious delays. At least one train operator has cancelled all trains until 9am, this includes the Stanstead Express....

Gatwick Express now not running until 9am either, Heathrow Express is yet to decide, but they are under watch...

Going to be a fun morning!

Weather isn't too bad right now.

No worse than usual London weather! It's 8am to 12pm that you have to watch according to the Met (for London etc)

 

[Mal]

Well Heathrow is a mess. Many delays and cancellations on both arriving and departing flights.

All fairly tame here in the end. Now, time for bed..
