After flight delays and cancellations on Wednesday during a solemn procession through central London, air traffic will be cut off again at London airports on Monday to allow time for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
The airport anticipates that 15% of its traffic will be affected, that is, more than 150 flights, to varying degrees, during the two minutes of silence planned at the end of the ceremony, the funeral procession or even at the time of the ceremony Private at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Carriers will have to adjust their schedules and modify certain flights. “Affected passengers will be contacted directly by the airlines,” Heathrow said, apologizing to affected passengers.

British Airways, of which Heathrow is the main hub, will cancel about 50 short round trips on Monday, the company, which had already had to cancel 8 round trips on Wednesday, told AFP. Virgin Atlantic for its part canceled four flights on Monday, according to the PA agency. The airport says the Queen’s funeral will be shown on screens at its premises on Monday and non-essential shops will be closed. Restaurants, cafes and pubs will remain open.
Heathrow also provides a traffic route three times a week, notation for the ferry routes between London and Windsor, which finds a number of kilometers from the airport, and recommends its passengers and transport routes in common.
