<p>
Around 30 flights have been cancelled at Heathrow Airport,&nbsp; affecting more than 5,000 people, due to a technical snag related to baggage movement.</p>
<p>
The airport asked airlines to cut 10% of flights from schedules across terminals two and three on Monday, according to a BBC report.</p>
<p>
It comes after problems at baggage reclaim areas that led to a huge piling up of luggage.</p>
<p>
Traffic movement has also been hit as Gatwick has announced that it will reduce the number of flights operating from its terminal. EasyJet has announced plans to cut 7% of its 160,000 flights scheduled between July and September.</p>
<p>
Tens of thousands of passengers have been hit by airport disruption and flight cancellations in recent weeks, according to the BBC report.</p>
<p>
Heathrow said cutting the number of flights would &quot;minimise&quot; the impact of the technical issues affecting baggage systems.</p>
<p>
&quot;We apologise unreservedly for the disruption passengers have faced over the course of this weekend,&quot; the company said.</p>
<p>
British Airways, which operates from terminals three and five, told the BBC it had made a &quot;small number of cancellations&quot; as a result of the airport&#39;s request.</p>
<p>
It understood BA will be able to re-accommodate the vast majority of customers onto new flights.</p>
