Heathrow Airport Resumes Services after Flight Cancellations

London's Heathrow Airport is back on track, offering almost normal services on Monday. Heavy snow forced the airport to cancel a number of flights to and from London over the weekend, leaving travellers high and dry.

Travellers breathe easy as London's Heathrow Airport returned to its normal schedule on Monday after nearly half its regular flights were grounded on account of heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures all across the European continent.

London Heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports, generally operates approximately 1,300 flights a day and caters to nearly 180,000 people. However, the schedule was trimmed down considerably on Sunday after a snow cover blanketed the UK.

"Heathrow is open and our usual flight schedule is operating today," the airport said in a statement yesterday.

"There will, however, be a handful of cancellations as result of yesterday's disruption. We advise passengers to contact their airlines to check before they come to the airport," the statement added.

Thousands of passengers were left stranded as the airport cancelled a number of flights on Saturday and Sunday.
