Lidojumi tika atcelti Lūtonas lidostā pēc tam, kad Apvienotajā karalistē neizturamais karstums izraisīja skrejceļa "virsmas defektu", ziņoja portāls "Daily Satr".
Pēc situācijas konstatēšanas inženieri slēdza skrejceļu un sāka darbu, lai novērstu problēmu.
Saskaņā ar BBC ziņoto, skrejceļš vienkārši izkusa.
Plašie traucējumi radās, jo Apvienoto Karalisti sasniedzis karstuma vilnis, un dažos apgabalos temperatūra sasniedza pat 42 grādus.
Lūtonas lidosta apkalpo aviosabiedrības, tostarp EasyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair un TUI.
Luton Airport was forced to suspend flights after very hot weather damaged the runway on Monday.

The RAF also had to halt flights in and out of its largest air base in the UK, Brize Norton, because the "runway melted".

No surprise that I have no sympathy for inconvenienced passengers who by their actions show they care not one jot about the climate emergency. What I do wonder is whether these people will ever become alive to the consequences of their actions… https://t.co/U8nWmPlaqu
