A body representing more than 90 airlines has threatened legal action if a settlement over costs they incurred from Friday’s shutdown at Heathrow airport is not reached.
The chief executive of Heathrow Airline Operators' Committee Nigel Wicking told Sky News he hoped the matter could be "amicably settled at some point in time" but said, "if we don't get good enough recourse and repayment in terms of the costs, then yes, there might be a case for legal action".
