Things are very slowly getting back to normal at London’s Heathrow Airport following a week of frustration thanks to a few inches of snow that nobody was prepared for. Planes were grounded, leading to thousands of passengers being stranded at the airport with no clue when they would be able to get to their destinations.
A lot of the thanks when it comes to the clean up process has to go to Mother Nature, as because of warmer temperatures ice melted faster allowing for crews to salt airfields, de-ice planes and get people off to wherever they were going. As for the future: ‘When we’ve got every passenger where he wants to be and she wants to be, then we will crawl over every aspect of these last few days,’ said Colin Matthews, the chief executive of airport operator BAA.
