Numerous flights to various destinations are cancelled at this time of year due to light loads. It is a planned cancellation rather than an on the day issue.

It doesn't sound planned if VS was taking booking on it ... Egg the VS Web site hasn't got a reason but I tweated Heathrow to see if I can find out!

Greg has posted this on FB in response to a query
"We are re-booking all passengers onto alternative services due to an unforeseen technical problem with the aircraft that cannot be fixed in time to operate the Washington flight today. Greg"

Ah sorry, I wrongly assumed it was part of the cancellation program rather than a last minute forced cancellation.
