Travel disruptions due to Tropical Storm Irene has left hundreds of Britons stuck in Airports on the east coast of the United States.

The storm hit the US coastline under hurricane status last week but was downgraded to a tropical storm as it moved over the heavily populated northeast. At least 11 people have been killed and many are still without power but the worst is likely over. However, many Britons remain at airports in places like New York and Philadelphia.

All British Airways flights between New York and Heathrow were cancelled through Sunday and the company said Monday’s flights were still in question and that further delays were still possible. Sunday’s cancellations came as the Port Authority of New York City said that all three of the city’s airports as well as rail and bus stations would be shut until at least Monday afternoon.

A spokesman for British Airways said that the company was still waiting on a green light from local officials to resume operations on Monday and if flights were allowed to go ahead that it would be operating as many as possible. Affected BA passengers are allowed to change travel dates free of charge or receive a refund in the case of cancellations.

Meanwhile, US carriers have released similar statements regarding the situation. Continental and United said that services would likely not resume until at least 17:00 local time on Monday and that they were reviewing conditions and equipment at affected airports.
