"Our impact here is minimal. We do have one flight, the flight to Heathrow, and that flight was actually cancelled yesterday, and it's not scheduled for today," said Ashley Barnes with the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. "Any folks who are booked on that flight in the coming days, should definitely be checking with their airlines for the status of that flight."

The next flight from London is scheduled to arrive in Halifax around midday Monday and expected to depart for London just before midnight.
