I was expecting to come across a long list of cancellations today but I was a bit surprised that it's just KLM with 2 x AMS off. They also had a lot of cancellations yesterday evening, so I'm guessing it is a bit wild in the Low Countries. This gives BA 330 departures today from LHR out of 668 total departures. There is still a high wind alert out, Regulation is in place (bold below) and the timekeeping stats. aren't good.
