NEW DELHI: Adverse weather conditions in London caused by heavy snowfall prevented Air India from operating one of its flights from the Indira Gandhi International Airport here to the London Heathrow Airport on Monday.
An Air India spokesperson said the airline operated AI-111 Delhi to Heathrow in the morning but could not operate another flight AI-115 to London later in the day.
Meanwhile, Kingfisher Airlines said in a statement that flight IT 002 from the Heathrow Airport to New Delhi had to be cancelled as the aircraft that was scheduled to operate this flight was held up at the Brussels airport because “local supplies of de-icing fluid” had been exhausted and fresh supplies were expected to take sometime.
A British Airport Authority update stated: “Heathrow Airport will be open and operating a limited schedule of arrivals and departures, but we expect further cancellations and delays in the coming days as airlines move diverted aircraft and crew back to their normal positions and we continue to manage the impacts of the poor weather over the weekend and in the days ahead.”
