Airports should be fined for disruption, ministers say: "Airports could face fines when passengers have their travel plans disrupted, the government has said.
London's Heathrow Airport faced criticism last week when it closed snow-hit runways, stranding thousands.
Aviation minister Theresa Villiers said an airport should be fined when it 'does let passengers down and doesn't prepare properly for severe weather'.
A BAA spokesman said it welcomed any law 'designed to improve the experience for passengers at the UK's airports'.
The spokesman added: 'We will of course play a full part in the government's discussions about this year's weather disruption and will make public the findings of our own independent investigation.'"
