Power Outage Shuts Down Heathrow Airport, Thousands of Flights Affected
A major power outage caused by a fire at an electrical substation has forced London’s Heathrow Airport to shut down until midnight on March 21, disrupting travel plans for tens of thousands of passengers. The closure has led to significant flight cancellations, delays, and diversions across Europe and the UK, with roads around the airport also facing heavy congestion. Emergency crews managed to contain the fire, but the disruption is expected to last for days as airlines work to rebook stranded travelers.
