BA halts 100 flights to damp noise at Royal state funeral

 

Bloomberg

British Airways will scrap 100 flights from its London Heathrow base on Monday and re-time others as the airport, airlines and air traffic controllers work to minimise noise during Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral.
About 15% of Heathrow’s schedule will be altered, according to the hub, with flights halted for various durations through the day.
There will be no aircraft movements for 30 minutes from 11:40 am and 12:10 pm to avoid disrupting a two-minute silence at the end of the funeral, and no arrivals for 35 minutes starting at 1:45 pm during the procession of the Queen’s hearse.
