Many flights cancelled in London due to heavy snowfall

London: London’s Heathrow airport cancelled 10 percent of flights on Monday, a day after it cut its capacity by a fifth, and said services could face further delays with more snowfall expected.

The airport scrapped some 250 flights on Sunday and said the decision had helped it operate smoothly.

Further light snowfalls are forecast through Monday and Tuesday, national weather service the Met Office said.

East Midlands Airport, in central England, said its single runway would remain closed until later on Monday, while City Airport – close to London’s financial district – re-opened its one runway after closing it earlier in the morning.
