Heathrow Airport announces more flight cancellations

Heathrow Airport has asked airlines to remove 30 flights from Thursday morning's schedule because it is expecting more passenger numbers than it can currently cope with. In total, 1,200 flights were scheduled to leave throughout the day. The airport claims the cancellations are necessary for both safety and to ensure as many passengers as possible catch their flights. It said individual airlines would contact people who are affected. A similar number of flights were cancelled earlier this month because of technical problems with baggage handling equipment.<br/>
