An airline was forced to fly up to 10 empty planes from Heathrow this summer because of chaos at the airport.
BMI sent the flights empty because the airport could not process passengers and baggage in time. The revelation is the latest blow to the reputation of the airport.
BMI chairman Sir Michael Bishop today spoke of his anger at the state of Heathrow.
He said its owner BAA had to improve its act and said its reputation had been "trashed", adding: "It must be rebuilt from the bottom up."

It's not just BAA and LHR that need a housecleaning.

DfT should be throw into the Channel. With lead weights.

Too generous. i would have them sent straight to hell where they can live in a Groundhog Day of getting up and having to make a plane at Heathrow Terminal 3.

I still don't understand the coming stampede of so many US carriers towards Heathrow following the Open Skies agreement.
