London Heathrow Airport has warned of more cancellations coming in the next few days and weeks after the airport had previously asked airlines to cut schedules as they struggle to cope with demand. The airport's management has now asked carriers to remove 61 flights from Monday's schedules, as the previous cuts were not enough.
Heathrow boss John Holland-Kaye also warned, that Heathrow would request "further action if necessary".
Holland-Kaye said: "I am very proud of the way that our team is rising to the challenge of growth, and giving excellent service to the vast majority of passengers. However, we have already seen times recently when demand exceeds the capacity of the airport, airlines and ground handlers.
We will review the schedule changes that airlines have submitted in response to the government's requirement to minimise disruption for passengers this summer and will ask them to take further action if necessary."
