Severe Snow Disrupts Flights and Causes Delays at UK Airports
## Chaos at UK Airport as Snow Sparks Cancelled Flights, Diversions, and Huge Delays
Severe weather conditions on Friday have led to widespread disruptions at UK airports, resulting in numerous flight cancellations and diversions. The harsh winter snow has struck various regions, severely affecting air travel throughout the day.
The situation unfolded early in the morning as adverse weather prompted airlines to adjust their schedules dramatically. Major airports, including London Gatwick, have been significantly impacted, with many passengers facing lengthy delays. Flight operations came to a standstill as air traffic control implemented restrictions to ensure safety.
Several flights were either cancelled or rerouted in response to the inclement weather. "Flight EZY856 from Aberdeen to London Gatwick this morning was delayed on departure due to air traffic control restrictions in place as a result of adverse weather conditions, and has now arrived at London Gatwick. While this was outside of our control, we are sorry for any inconvenience this caused," said a spokesperson for the airline.
Travelers have expressed frustration over the delays and uncertainty. Many have been left stranded in terminals as they await updates on their flights. Airports are working diligently to clear backlogs and manage the situation as best as they can under the circumstances.
