Another round of British Airways flight cancellations has been announced.
The airline says a total of 10,000 Heathrow journeys will be axed in a bid to minimise disruption over winter.
The cancellation of 629 BA flights between now and October 29 could threaten holidays. British Airlines has said it will protect 'key holiday destinations over' half-term, but further cuts could spell more travel chaos.
The news comes after Heathrow's extension of its 100,000 daily passenger cap to the same date in late October after it was originally scheduled to end September 11.
The airline's capacity will be reduced by eight percent this winter through the end of March - a move set to impact 10,000 flights, Wales Online reported.
A spokesperson for the airline told the BBC : "While the vast majority of our customers will travel as planned and we're protecting key holiday destinations over half-term, we will need to make some further cancellations up to the end of October.
"In addition, we're giving customers travelling with us this winter notice of some adjustments to our schedule, which will include consolidating some of our short-haul flights to destinations with multiple services.
"We'll be offering customers affected by any of these changes an alternative flight with British Airways or another airline or the option of a refund."
Last week, Heathrow chief commercial officer Ross Baker said: "Our primary concern is ensuring we give our passengers a reliable service when they travel. That's why we introduced temporary capacity limits in July which have already improved journeys during the summer getaway.
"We want to remove the cap as soon as possible, but we can only do so when we are confident that everyone operating at the airport has the resources to deliver the service our passengers deserve."
