The funeral is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 19.London's Heathrow Airport will change about 15% of its Monday flights to avoid noise during Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.
"As a mark of respect, operations to and from the airport will be subject to appropriate changes in order to avoid noise disturbance at certain locations at specific times on Monday," Heathrow said in a statement on Thursday. British Airways said it will cancel about 50 short-haul flights throughout the day. The airline said the cancellations are on routes where it operates multiple flights a day and that it plans to utilize larger planes to accommodate passengers. A spokeswoman said the carrier doesn't expect long-haul flights to be cancelled.
Britain's busiest airport said flights would be diverted around Windsor Castle during a private family service. Airlines agreed to pause arrivals and departures from 11:40 a.m. GMT to 12:10 p.m. GMT to cut noise during a moment of silence, and arrivals from 1:45 to 2:20 during a procession of the queen's hearse. Departures will also be on hold from 3:05 to 4:45 pm during a ceremonial procession to Windsor Castle.
