At the beginning of January, BA 223 from London to Washington was canceled two days in a row due to “security concerns”. On the third day, it was allowed to fly, but was held on the ground in DC for three hours after arrival before passengers were allowed to disembark. Air France also had flights canceled at the 11th hour – specifically to Los Angeles - probably at the demand of the American government, which had information that would have precluded allowing the flights to fly over American airspace.
