Most Heathrow services back to normal

Most flights at Heathrow Airport have resumed normal service following last week's crash landing incident.

However, 56 flights - mainly short-haul ones - were cancelled this morning (January 21st), an airport spokesman told the BBC.

"It takes time for operations to get back to normal, but Heathrow handles 1,300 flights a day so these cancellations are quite small," he said.

While a number of services were immediately cancelled following the events of Thursday, operations began to get back to normal over the weekend, according to the Press Association.

On Friday, British Airways said that it was operating all of its long-haul flights as normal, with 95 per cent of its short-haul services running as usual. Passengers were urged to check with the airline before setting off for the airport, however.

The wreckage of the plane involved in the incident - which saw just a few minor injuries sustained among passengers and cabin crew - was removed from the southern runway at Heathrow Airport on Sunday.
