BA flights almost back on schedule after Heathrow fiasco

BRITISH AIRWAYS was back to 95% of its scheduled service at Heathrow last night as the airport recovered from a catering row that spoiled thousands of holidays.

Only 600 frustrated travellers are now in hotels or at Heathrow waiting to depart, and the airline hopes finally to clear the backlog by tomorrow.

A BA spokesperson said: "Everybody who was on a cancelled flight now has a reconfirmed ticket. If they're not going out today, they will be going out in the next day or two."
