    Heathrow resumes flights and hopes for full day of service – but passengers face further delays | UK News

    Heathrow says it is expecting a full day of “100% operation” after the airport was shut over a loss of power – but passengers have been warned of further disruption.

    A limited number of flights resumed overnight following an almost day-long closure after a fire at a nearby electrical substation triggered a “significant power outage” on Friday.

    The closure of Europe‘s busiest airport led to more than 1,000 flights being cancelled and disrupted the travel plans of as many as 290,000 passengers.

    On Saturday morning, a Heathrow spokesperson said it was now “open and fully operational” but that passengers should still check with their airline.

    The airport said hundreds of extra staff were in terminals and more flights had been added “to facilitate an extra 10,000 passengers”.
