HADACAB has been invoked so all the following are WEAN

BA828 DUB
BA1398 MAN
BA322 CDG
BA978 HAJ
BA440 AMS
BA782 ARN
BA734 GVA
BA818 CPH

BA974 HAM
BA396 BRU
BA1310 ABZ
BA712 ZRH
BA1498 GLA

Which brings BA's schedule down to 316 departures. The ATC explains the problem, the regulation of 36/60 is middle of the pack but it is on for the whole day as things stand.

Landing RWY: 27R
Airborne holding (mins): 5
Departure RWY: 27L
TSAT delay average (mins): 0
