I don't believe it's going anywhere tonight, apart from the hanger

App showing departure from MAD 2h later than scheduled. I'm definitely visiting all lounges at the airport.

Let me know when someone gets 100% confirmation. I will stay in Hilton then. Unless we are expected to be rebooked on Iberia tonight?

BA464 and BA465 now cancelled on Ba.com and LHR websites. Poor Madrid staff won’t know what’s hit them with rebooking. Wonder if they will get any/many on the delayed BA463

Now officially cancelled in app. A bit of a failure but 300 euro will keep most people happy.

How does that work then? He was rostered to land at LHR tonight at 22:25 and then fly an 06:20 departure the following morning? Doesn't seem to meet minimum rest requirements?
