A Heathrow spokesperson said “a small number of flights” have been cancelled on Saturday due to “strong winds and airspace restrictions”.
They added: “This will ensure the vast majority of passengers can still safely travel as planned.
“We know how important travel at this time of year is and have extra colleagues on hand in our terminals to support people on their journeys.
“We encourage passengers to check in with their airlines for the latest information about their flights.”
