UK: Fog at London airports causes second day of disruption

Fog is causing a second day of delays and cancellations at London airports. Heathrow and Gatwick are both experiencing problems due to heavy fog across England and elsewhere in Europe. London City airport opened Sunday afternoon with a full schedule but, as with the other airports, advised passengers to contact their airline before leaving home. Further fog is predicted for Monday which could affect commuters, according to the Met Office. Travellers also face further disruption over Christmas due to planned strikes by cabin crew and baggage handlers, although talks to avert the walkout are planned for Monday. A Heathrow airport spokesman said about 30 flights, selected by the airlines, had been "tactically cancelled" because of reduced runway capacity, and delays to other flights were likely to continue all day. <br/>
