British Airways will scrap 100 flights from its London Heathrow base on Monday and re-time others as the airport, airlines and air traffic controllers work to minimize noise during Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral.

About 15% of Heathrow’s schedule will be altered, according to the hub, with flights halted for various durations through the day.
