Budget airline easyJet said the hangover from yesterday's bad weather would see scores of flights cancelled from Luton, Gatwick, Stansted, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports this morning.

British Airways cancelled all UK and European flights departing after 7pm yesterday, and was "strongly" advising passengers to check their flight status before setting off today.

Staff at Gatwick were working to clear a backlog after reopening the runway last night.

Passengers are advised to check Gatwick's website before travelling.
