Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom announced that due to a fire at a nearby substation causing a power outage, the airport will be closed all day on Friday, disrupting flight schedules around the globe. The London Fire Brigade stated that about 70 firefighters are battling the fire in west London, which has caused widespread power outages at Heathrow Airport. Heathrow is the busiest airport in Europe and the fifth busiest in the world. Orange flames were shooting into the sky. The cause of the fire is still unclear, according to the fire brigade. According to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, dozens of flights have been diverted to other airports. Some flights departing from the USA turned back in mid-air to return to their origin. Heathrow Airport posted a message on X stating, 'To ensure the safety of passengers and colleagues, Heathrow Airport will be closed until March 21 at 23:59.' A spokesperson for Heathrow told Reuters via email that firefighters are responding to the incident, but it is unclear when reliable power restoration can be expected, adding that significant disruptions are anticipated in the coming days. Ian Petchenik, a spokesperson for FlightRadar24, stated, 'Heathrow is one of the world's major hubs. This incident will disrupt the operations of global Airlines.'
