Heathrow airport with cancelled flights and lost baggage.
With the cancelled flights and lost baggage, the travelers at the Heathrow Airport using the newly opened Terminal 5 had a bad experience today.
The flights to Germany, France and Belgium had been cancelled. British Airways confirmed by 14:00 GMT, 34 flights had been cancelled. And the other travelers had experienced delays of two to three hours.
For the luggage delays, the airline blamed "teething problems" with the baggage handling system. An ambitious move was taken by the airline at 23:00 last night and 04:00 GMT this morning to the new state -of-the-art terminal building. The airline said that they had to transfer over thousand vehicles, 27 short-haul aircraft and more than 2,500 ground staff in the complex operation.
British Airways had apologized for the inconvenience and also included that they didn’t expect such problems would occur.
