British Airways cancelled dozens of flights today due to staff shortages, including one from Newcastle and many more from Heathrow.
At least 64 British Airways flights to or from London Heathrow were axed today, including the 15.10 from Newcastle to the West London airport. International services from Heathrow to cities including Berlin, Geneva, Paris and Stockholm were among those pulled on Monday.
Passengers were given advanced warnings about the cancellations, British Airways said. The airline had already chosen to reduce its schedule until the end of May, to mitigate the number of flights cancelled at short notice when there is not enough staff.
