Heathrow closed all day after electrical substation fire, cancelling up to 60 Ireland flights

Thousands of homes have been left without power and more than 100 people were evacuated.



A fire at an electrical substation caused a power outage at Heathrow Airport, leading to the cancellation of over 1,300 flights. Limited flights resumed in the evening after the fire was deemed "non-suspicious." The airport is prioritizing repatriation and relocation of aircraft, with some airlines planning to operate normal schedules the following day. Heathrow's CEO apologized for the disruption but defended the response.
