British Airways has cancelled more than 100 flights to and from its main base, London Heathrow airport on Thursday. The Independent calculates 32 domestic flights, including departures to all its UK regional airports, have been grounded. A total of 80 short-haul international flights are cancelled.
BA says the flight cancellations are all pre-planned and that passengers were given notice of a week or two – with some departures taken out of the schedules many weeks ahead.
