Our flights are operating today, however we expect some knock on disruption from yesterday's combination of a temporary closure of Heathrow Airport's air traffic control tower and a supplier system issue which affected a number of airlines.
Looks to be about a dozen short haul flights delayed overnight. From reports of family members stuck at AMS, whose departure time slipped back 4 times before being cancelled, it felt it was an ongoing systems issue rather than a 1-off delay caused by the tower closure.
