The Heathrow Airport in London is the ‘fully operating’ economy after fire

On Saturday (22), a spokesman said that the Heathrow airport in London was “fully operated”, one day after a fire at an electric center that caused the largest airport in Europe and confused in global air transport.

Heathrow, one of the world’s highest -moved airports, had to close its facilities on Friday, due to the disruption of the power service, and the night fires at Hayes’s Electrical Substation to London, which supplies the area.

Heathrow’s closure, with ordinary flights to 80 countries around the world, caused a series of disturbances in global air traffic, as many flights had to be canceled or diverted.

The first flights began to leave and depart from Friday afternoon. Their guardians explained that they are mainly “repatriated flights for passengers diverted to other European airports.”

“We can verify that Hethro is open today and we can verify that it is completely working,” said a spokesman on Saturday morning.

“Airport teams continue to do everything possible for passengers affected by yesterday’s blackout at a substation outside the airport,” he said.

About 1,350 flights were affected by the closure of Friday, the Flight Tar 24 website said.

Delay and cancel before the service is normalized.

“Our terminals have hundreds of additional employees and add flights to today’s programming to facilitate another 10,000 passenger airport,” the spokesman said. He advised passengers to contact their airlines about the latest information about their flights.

British Airways, the largest airline working in Heathrow, is expected to fly “85%” on Saturday’s planes.

On Saturdays, British Airways usually starts 600 flights to the airport.

The airline explained that the returning activities “such an important event is very complicated”. “All customers are likely to experience delay,” he warned.

On Friday, more than 100,000 British Airways customers were affected by the closure of the airport. In total, the event affected at least 200,000 people.

Approximately 230,000 passengers use Heathrow every day, with a total of 83 million per year, one of the world’s most popular and first airports in Europe.

The size of disturbances has created inquiries about the vulnerability of one of the most important shipment of the UK.

Firefighters said the cause of the fire that was announced on Thursday night that “it did not seem suspicious” and focuses on “power distribution equipment”.

Earlier, the London Metropolitan police had announced heads for their anti -tear -terrorist unit Fire Investigation, but so far there are no indications for criminal motives.

In the name of “Khos”, many British newspapers were surprised in the first pages this Saturday, such as something like this.

The airport director, Thomas Woldby, apologized to the “inconvenience” caused by the passengers and assured that there was no “previous one”.

There are many sources of electricity and emergency generators in the airport, but these systems are not designed to ensure complete performance of infrastructure, according to its operator.
