One of the World’s busiest Airports Heathrow is set to grind to a halt and bosses say major disruption could last for days.
The Airport is to remain shut until midnight due to a large fire at a nearby electricity substation.
A Spokesperson said there was a significant power outage across the Airport and there’s no clarity on when the power may be reliably restored. Passengers have been warned to stay away.
There are currently 120 aircraft in the air that will be diverting to alternate airports or returning to their origin. Flight tracking site Flightradar24 said at least 120 planes already in the air and bound for Heathrow would have to divert.
