Flights have been cancelled amid warnings of blizzard conditions set to sweep across the UK on Thursday.
London's Heathrow Airport said airlines had pre-emptively cancelled 6% of its usual daily flights - 80 out of 1,350 departures and arrivals - with disruption expected from 15:00 GMT.
The airport said without the cancellations it could not reschedule any flights delayed by the weather.
The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for snow for much of the UK.
The "be aware" warnings are in place for many areas of the country until Saturday.
Airports including Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast International and Belfast City airports are operating as normal with no reported weather-related disruption.
Frequent snow showers and strong winds are expected widely across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the north of England on Thursday.
Meanwhile in the south, rain is forecast to turn to snow.
