Chaotic weather at London Heathrow and Gatwick airports led to over 100 flights being cancelled.

Around 10,000 passengers on British Airways and other airlines were affected.

Two British Airways flights were struck by lightning, with one being diverted to Gatwick.

Disruptions were caused by adverse weather and air traffic control restrictions.

EasyJet also experienced disruptions.

Passengers are entitled to assistance such as refreshments, accommodation, and rebooking, but are unlikely to receive compensation.

Lightning strikes on planes are common and typically do not cause significant damage.

The situation highlights the challenges faced by the aviation industry in managing unpredictable weather conditions.
