Restrictions on flights arriving and departing from U.K. airports continued for a second day and are likely to extend into Tuesday as a carpet of fog sits across much of Britain.
London’s Heathrow and Gatwick hubs and Manchester in the north of England restricted the number of aircraft movements amid poor visibility, spokespeople for the airports said Monday. London City, on the banks of the River Thames, halted take-offs until noon.
