Bulgaria Air has scheduled an additional flight to London on Tuesday, the company has announced.

UK authorities have allowed the use of London Luton Airport, instead of London Heathrow Airport, as the common practice is.

The flight will transport to and from London the passengers who were stuck at the London airports because of the bad weather conditions.

The passengers who waited the longest at the airports will be treated with priority for the emergency flight of Bulgaria Air.

The plane will take off from Sofia International Airport at 5 pm local time and will depart from London at 7:30 pm local time. It is expected to land back in Sofia at 1 am local time.

"Although most of the companies canceled all their flights, the Bulgarian carrier will provide Airbus A319 with 144 seats, which will allow most of the passengers to come home," Bulgaria Air has announced.
