London Heathrow and Gatwick airports experienced extensive flight cancellations in early June 2026, primarily affecting services operated by British Airways and easyJet. These disruptions resulted in a substantial number of flights being cancelled, significantly impacting travel for passengers at the two major London airports.
Widespread Impact on International Routes
The cancellations and delays notably affected flights connecting the UK with destinations across North America, Europe, and Asia. Routes serving the United States, Canada, India, the Netherlands, France, Norway, and Switzerland were among those disrupted. Alongside British Airways and easyJet, other carriers including American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, and KLM faced related operational issues across Heathrow,
Gatwick, and Scottish airports such as Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Passengers at Heathrow and Gatwick encountered prolonged delays and cancellations that led to travel interruptions and stranded travelers on several key international routes. The combined operational challenges at these UK hubs contributed to a period of notable travel disruption within the country’s airline network.
