Impact on Flights

• Heathrow: Approximately 20 flights canceled and 29 delayed.
• Gatwick: 26 delayed flights and 1 cancellation.

Short-haul flights to European destinations are the most affected.

Air Traffic Control Measures

The UK's main air traffic control provider, NATS, has implemented temporary air traffic restrictions at several airports to maintain safety under low visibility conditions. These measures are expected to continue throughout the day.

Passenger Advice

Passengers are strongly advised to check the status of their flights directly with their airlines before heading to the airport. Airlines are required to:

• Provide refunds or alternative flights for canceled flights.
• Offer meals, drinks, and accommodation for delayed flights, if necessary.

Compensation varies based on flight distance and delay duration.

Weather Outlook

The Met Office forecasts foggy conditions will persist until Saturday afternoon, with improved weather expected by Sunday. Travelers should remain vigilant as conditions can change rapidly.
