Sunday 2 February 2025 - Candlemas

BA113 JFK - not sure, but I suspect TECY - G-ZBLI pushed back about 30 minutes late, went off to the runway and then almost immediately returned to a stand near T5C.at 17:30.and cancelled at 18:20.

Apart from that, a fairly reasonable day. De-icing has led to some departure delays so that area is below target. Not many other cancellations other than for Finnair, who have a work-to-rule by pilots leading to daily cancellations on the LHR-HEL sector, 3 of them today. 640 departures from LHR, 330 for BA.
