British Airways warned of more disruption at London Heathrow Airport on Saturday as it offered to refund or rebook passengers stuck due to heavy snow.
Hundreds of flights were grounded at BA’s chief air hub on Friday. Passengers were stuck on planes as they waited for runway slots to become available.
There are normally between 42 and 44 take-off or landing slots per hour, but at one point that plunged to just six.
“We are doing all we can to help our customers after freezing weather and snow caused significant disruption to our schedule,” BA said in a statement.
“We are also offering customers who no longer wish to travel between Friday and Sunday the option to rebook their flight to a later date.
“There will be knock-on disruption to services on Saturday and we are advising all customers to check the very latest status of their flight via ba.com before leaving for the airport and if their flight has been cancelled not to leave home.”
