British Airways has cancelled several flights from the airport today (Thursday, September 21), which follows a number of cancelled flights to and from Heathrow Airport yesterday (Wednesday, September 20) due to “high winds”.

The airline said yesterday that the windy weather has resulted in Air Traffic Control restrictions which is limiting the number of aircraft that can land and depart per hour at Heathrow Airport.

British Airways said in a statement: “We’ve been in touch with customers to apologise and provide them with rebooking options or the option to receive a full refund.”

Today there are more British Airways flights that have been cancelled from Heathrow. Flights to destinations including Rome, Paris and Copenhagen have all been cancelled.

Yellow weather warnings were issued by the Met Office across a number of regions yesterday including Hampshire, with heavy downpours of rain in the Portsmouth area last night.
