As thousands of passengers remain stranded at Britain's major
airport, the focus of much anger has been directed at BAA, the company
responsible for the running of Heathrow. The airport was essentially
closed down on Sunday following extreme weather conditions, and many
were forced to book hotels, with others camping out on the terminal
floors.
Such chaos has been a familiar addition to the Winter season this year, with worse
than normal weather bringing large parts of the country to a standstill. Across the
UK, airports have experienced closures over the past few weeks, and have been forced
to deal with a vast backlog of passengers hoping to reach their destination before
Christmas.
In Europe, the situation is much the same, with key transport hubs such as the
Frankfurt and Charles De Gaulle airports facing a daunting accumulation of
passengers unable to travel. Between the two, some 110 million people have been
affected by the delays and cancellations.
Deliveries throughout the continent have also been affected, with tens of thousands
of shoppers and companies failing to receive their goods, a situation made worse by
the substantial increase in online shopping and delivery orders this year. For
people delivering to the continent however, there is an alternative.
Parcels Please have chosen to go land-based while
the airports are shut. The parcel delivery service has avoided the flight
disruption by operating on the ground. With access to an extensive range of depots
across Europe, Parcels Please have maintained a slight advantage over other
couriers.
Although there have been inevitable delays to parcel deliveries, a much larger
problem has been averted by the non-reliance on flights throughout the continent. A
Parcels Please spokesman said:
“We are doing everything possible to return to normal service, including working at
weekends, however delays are still occurring. Deliveries to residential addresses
are likely to be the most affected by the bad weather with many local roads
inaccessible.”
