LHR Disruption
Oh there is a bit of significant weather forecast so lets just cancel a couple of hundred flights at UKS only hub airport (LHR).
I can understand this when heavy snow falls but a bit of wind-did it ever get above 35Kts did it ever have crosswind compontent greater than most modern airliners can cope with.
Why was such drastic action taken today? It must cost the airlines involved quite bit and BA a lot of grief because of all the transit pax they carry. I know LHR operates at about 100% of capacity much of the time but is a bit of wind really bad enough to impact things so badly that lots of flights have to be cancelled ina dvance -?
