London: Passengers at London's Heathrow Airport faced a third day of delays and flight cancellations on Saturday.

A British Airways spokeswoman said that more than 50 flights would be cancelled due to technical difficulties. More cancellations are scheduled on Sunday, she said.

The new terminal has faced problems since the baggage-handling system failed to work during the terminal's opening on Thursday.

More than 100 flights have been cancelled since then.
