That is the problem with Heathrow there is no slack for when we get to service pertubation like today .

Would you like Heathrow to tarmac over more villages for a Runway No3 , so that the short haul flights can operate .

No - but LHR capacity wasn't the issue today. It was mass cancellations by BA once the airport was fully operational again. And yes I appreciate some inbound aircraft will be out of place and the operations team would be playing catch up all day, but BA would rather strand thousands of customers in order to have their equipment in the right place for the next cycle.
