Heathrow Shuts Down After Power Outage From Nearby Fire

Reuters

A major fire at an electrical substation has forced Heathrow Airport to close all day Friday.

Heathrow Airport will remain closed all day Friday due to major power outages caused by a large fire at a nearby electrical substation that supplies the airport.

Airport authorities have advised passengers not to travel to Heathrow and to contact their airlines for further information.

While fire crews are responding to the incident, officials say it remains unclear when power will be reliably restored.

Heathrow is the UK’s largest airport, handling around 1,300 flights daily. Last year, it saw a record 83.9 million passengers pass through its terminals.
