Heathrow axed 61 flights last minute on Monday and warned more could be cancelled if it still can’t handle the remaining traffic.
Around 10,000 holidaymakers will lose at least a day from their trips as airlines have also been asked not to rebook them onto other planes leaving the same day.
Airport bosses said the decision was made after they realised they would not have the capacity to serve the number of passengers expected. Virgin said it had cancelled three flights and that its ‘teams are working hard to ensure customers can complete their journey as quickly as possible’.Passengers will be given the option to rebook on a later date or request a refund, the company added.
