New disruption at Heathrow after airport orders 30 flights to be cancelled

After the airport canceled flights because it couldn't handle them, passengers complained of total chaos.

The cancellation of 30 flights during the morning peak was caused by thousands of travellers being disrupted by a rare schedule intervention.

Some passengers didn't know their flights were canceled until they got to the airport.

There was a lot of chaos at the airport this morning. The British Airways flights were canceled.

Andrew Douglas said he had spent the last four hours in multiple lines at the airport because his flight had been canceled.

He said it was a complete mess and only found out at the check-in counter. The service was really good.

The airport asked airlines to remove 30 flights from the morning peak because it was too full.

We apologize for the impact this has on travel plans and will work with airlines to get affected passengers re booked on other flights outside of the peak time.

The most important thing is to make sure that all service providers at the airport have enough resources to meet demand, and that's what we're trying to do.

Many passengers at the airport have been separated from their luggage for several days.

During the peak summer holiday period, there are fears that UK airports will be disrupted in the run-up to Easter and the bank holiday.
