Flight chaos expected to continue as fog to return for third day

Thick fog which has been causing cancelled and disrupted flights at UK airports is set to return for a third day on Tuesday, forecasters warn.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for fog, covering much of England and east Wales until noon on Tuesday.

Passengers are being advised to check the status of their flight with the airline before travelling to the airport.

Some 129 flights - about 10% of departures - were cancelled at Heathrow Airport on Monday due to low visibility.

London City Airport was closed for flights until around 11am, while Gatwick, Manchester, Liverpool John Lennon, Glasgow, Belfast and Southampton airports were also affected.

Flights have been disrupted due to fog in several parts of western Europe, with Amsterdam's Schipol particularly affected.

Cancellations at UK airports due to fog began on Sunday.

Motorists have been advised to take care on the roads amid the thick fog and Highways England urged people to allow extra time.
