Airline passengers have been left stranded today at Heathrow and Gatwick aiports as British Airways cancels flights due to bad weather.
British Airways has cancelled 20 flights, all from Heathrow and Gatwick, including two flights to Glasgow, all scheduled for this afternoon - leaving hundreds of passengers stranded.
The bad weather has hit the snow-bound airports on the north east coast of America and across western Europe. The flights cancelled were to New York, Washington DC, Paris, Toulouse, Geneva and Amsterdam.
One aircraft flying from Heathrow to Geneva had to divert into Lyon because the bad weather meant it could not land.
Another to the same destination from Gatwick had to divert to Zurich and a third from Gatwick had to divert to Zurich on its way to Stuttgart.
BA apologised to passengers and said they were all being re-booked on to the next available flights, expected to leave later today.
