London’s Heathrow Airport closed

London Heathrow Airport, one of the largest airports in the world, is closed and will remain closed throughout Friday, March 21.

The airport’s closure is attributed to a fire at an electrical substation supplying power to the facility, resulting in a significant power outage, indicates a notification on its website.

According to the announcement, Heathrow is taking this measure to ensure the safety of passengers and staff and is expected to remain closed until 23:59 on March 21. Travelers are advised not to go to the airport and are encouraged to contact their airline for further information.

In a statement on the airport’s website, it says: “We apologize for the inconvenience.”
