Nats was forced to tell passengers to check with their airlines to see if their flight was still going ahead after temporary flight restrictions were imposed at the airport, the BBC reported.
In a statement, British Airways said: “Due to air traffic control restrictions imposed on all airlines at Heathrow, which limits the number of aircraft which can safely take off and land per hour, we’ve had to make some adjustments to our schedule.
“We’re really sorry for any disruption this may cause.”
