One in Three Flights Cancelled at Heathrow

At 2000 tonight the BAA advised that all airlines who operated more than three flights (in a day) would have to cancel 30% of their schedule on Sunday 13 August. Airlines were required to submit a revised schedule to show this reduction by 2300. Three hours to revise schedules completely! Clearly the hand baggage situation is unsustainable how long before total gridlock ensues? What is going to happen to the 30% of passengers affected? Someone in Government must take a clear and decisive lead to save our industry.
