UK-bound air passangers heaved sigh of relief, following the resumption of operation at Europe’s busiest gateway, Heathrow Airport.
A power shutdown caused by a fire at a power station had led to the shutdown of the airport that led to the cancellation of more than 1000 flights and disruption of the travel plans of as many as 290,000 passengers.
Heathrow Airport spokesperson on Saturday confirmed that the air hub was now open and fully operational.
“We can confirm that Heathrow is open and fully operational today.
“Teams across the airport continue to do everything they can to support passengers impacted by yesterday’s outage at an off-airport power substation.
“We have hundreds of additional colleagues on hand in our terminals and we have added flights to today’s schedule to facilitate an extra 10,000 passengers traveling through the airport.”
“Passengers traveling today should check with their airline for the latest information regarding their flight,” the spokesperson said.
