Multiple flights between Aberdeen and London have been cancelled today due to “freezing fog” in the capital.
Eight British Airways flights from Aberdeen have been cancelled, including tonight’s 7.30pm service.
Heathrow Airport mandated a reduction in flights due to the poor weather conditions, with lows of -1C, as well as air traffic control restrictions.
The conditions cancelled the following departures from Aberdeen to London Heathrow:
- 9.05am
- 1.25pm
- 4.45pm
- 7.30pm
The only two flights to leave from the Dyce airport to the UK capital was the ones scheduled for 10.45am and 2.40pm.
Although the former was scheduled to leave just before 11am, it was not airborne until 1.40pm.
Four flights cancelled from Heathrow to Aberdeen
Cancelled British Airways flights from Heathrow to Aberdeen were:
- 6.45am
- 11am
- 2.25pm
- 5pm
Today’s earliest flight to the Granite City was due to take-off at 8.20am but did not take off until 11.11am, while the 12.20pm also travelled, albeit over 40 minutes late.
Tonight’s flight at 8.20pm is on and is expected to run as normal.
