British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair are among the airlines affected, each with several flights delayed. Water has entered some areas of the airport, including the public area of Terminal 1. The severe weather has also led to rail services being suspended and motorways being flooded. EasyJet issued a message to passengers which stated: “We have been advised that customers are receiving information to warn against all but essential travel to and from Barcelona due to severe weather conditions. At least six of British Airways’ nine flights from Barcelona to Heathrow on Monday were delayed, including one which was due to be three-and-a-half hours late.
