Storm Ciara ATC Cancellations

Good afternoon,

I’m looking for some help with a flight cancellation I had on the morning of Monday 10th February. I am arguing with BA over the cause and they are claiming it had to be cancelled due to reduced ATC arrival rates into LGW due to storm Ciara on Sunday 9th February (BA 2501 EDI-LGW 10/02/2020, starts in the morning as the BA 2500 from LGW).

I’ve been an airline pilot for over 20 years and my anecdotal investigation would indicate that this had ceased before the morning of 10th Feb. Does anyone remember or have info on when the restrictions were in place?

Many thanks and if it helps me to prove they’re telling porkies I’ll buy you a beer if you’re ever up in EDI!

Many thanks
