Fog Causes Heathrow Flight Cancellations

Heavy fog in the southeast of England is causing flight delays and hazardous driving conditions for commuters.

Forty incoming and outgoing flights have already been cancelled this morning, a Heathrow Airport spokeswoman said.

The Met Office has warned the public of travel disruption, with visibility of less than 50 metres in places causing some dangerous driving conditions.

Sky News' Harriet Hadfield, in west London, said there were reports of "almost no visibility" on some motorways such as the M25.

London's City Airport is also experiencing disruption to inbound and outbound flights, with eight out of 10 flights cancelled or delayed.

Among the services axed are British Airways flights to Zurich, Glasgow and Dusseldorf.

Visibility on some roads in the southeast is less than 50 metres

Gatwick is operating without any problems but there are delays at Southampton Airport.

Today's flight problems follow last Saturday's major disruption at all airports after difficulties at the  headquarters of air traffic control company Nats.

Ferry services have also been affected by the fog, with delays to Wightlink Ferries - which operates routes between Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Customers are advised to check company websites before travelling.

The fog, which extends towards the Midlands and the east of England, is expected to clear at about 10am.
