No flights have yet been delayed or disrupted as a result of the protest but it has caused major traffic chaos at Europe's busiest airport and travellers have been urged to allow more time for their journeys this morning

Several members of campaign group 'Plane Stupid' parked a large white van across the lanes of the main road into the London airport and chained themselves to it at about 7.40am.
