In UK, flights at London Heathrow airport's Terminal Five are subject to delays for the second day running due to chaos at the baggage-handling department. On Thursday, thousands of passengers were stranded, with many of them having to be put up in hotels.

The new terminal was opened earlier this month amidst claims that it would cut waiting times at Europe's biggest airport. The building is used only by British Airways and has the capacity to deal with 30 million passengers a year.
