Wednesday 10 April 2024 - Eid al Fitr (subject to lunar movements).

No cancellations yet, so 333 BA departures from LHR today. But the FOD radar has picked up some junk so there have been stops to departures, and some departure congestion down the Swindon direction and a light level of regulation of arrivals (40/60). But timekeeping is much better today than recent days. ATC report.

Landing RWY: 27R
Airborne holding (mins): 7 peak
Departure RWY: 27L
TSAT delay average (mins): 0

Heathrow: EGLLTC regulation 40/60 0540-2200z due to winds.
Network: Relatively low delays for EGLL deps currently; EHAM and Brest capacity restrictions generating most CTOTs.

Weather: Low risk VIS2 1700-0000z. Isolated 25-27KT gusts through the afternoon. Strengthening 3000ft winds from c1200z.
