Threat to flights at LHR - 15th August 2020

Hi,

Came across this post on a Facebook flight tracking forum

Hopefully someone can help?

I had a flight out of Heathrow cancelled when I was in the airport on 15.08.20. In summary, I arrived at destination 7 hours late and the airline lost my luggage.

I claimed for compensation under the EU261 Regulations and they have turned me down on the basis that the flight was cancelled due to ‘unspecified threat to LHR-flights’. I have asked for evidence of this, but they will not provide and I can’t find any evidence myself.

1) Does anyone know how I can find details of departures from Heathrow on the same day. This is because I need to prove that the so called threat, did not affect any other flights.

Just thought it sounded very strange for a couple of reasons, firstly that I'd have thought something like that would have made the news and secondly that I thought the airline (it was SAS) would have been more forthcoming.

Just wondered on your thoughts?
