Severe weather at the UKs largest airport London Heathrow on Friday morning caused Air Traffic Control to close the Runways to Landing & Departing aircrafts.
British Airways grounded 18 flights, while Aer Lingus, Air France and Lufthansa also cancelled departures.
Some inbound aircraft had to fly extended holding patterns while waiting for a slot to land. An American Airlines flight from Dallas was 20 miles south of Heathrow at 6.54am, but could not land for over half-an-hour.
