BREAKING NEWS is that British Airways says it has complied with a BAA
directive to cancel 20% of its flights today (Monday 14 August) at
Heathrow. The instruction, which applies to all airlines operating at
the airport, is a result of continuing congestion following last
week”s security problems. BA anticipates that it will operate a full
European and long haul schedule from Gatwick. However all 26 domestic
flights departing today, excluding those to Jersey, are cancelled. On
Sunday CEO Willie Walsh issued a statement in which he strongly
criticised the BAA Heathrow performance. Ryanair was also in the
blaming mood the Irish airline complaining that the UK government has
been heavy handed. easyJet (on Sunday evening) said that they planned
to operate a full schedule today. British Airways web site states the
flight situation but the two budget carriers seem to be less
forthcoming with news. The BAA site sets out very clearly the
restrictions regarding what you can or cannot carry on board.
