British Airways says Heathrow slot changes ‘help provide certainty’ for passengers

Reports say airline's services are likely to be the most heavily affected by cancellations

British Airways has responded to reports its Heathrow services are expected to bear the brunt of new cancellations by saying it welcomes the new measures allowing them to take place.

It comes after another week of travel chaos at Heathrow when the airport ordered flights to be cancelled because it could not handle them. On Thursday and Friday, passengers at the airport complained of long queues, cancelled flights and lost baggage as schedule intervention" and disruptions at UK airports were exacerbated by strikes in Spain.
