London, March 23, 2025 – Heathrow Airport, Britain’s busiest aviation hub, resumed full operations Saturday after a day-long shutdown caused by a massive fire at a nearby power substation.
The blaze which erupted Friday in Hayes disrupted electricity supply, forcing authorities to halt airport activities. Thousands of passengers faced severe inconvenience, but flight schedules now run smoothly with added services to ease traveler woes.
UK Energy Security Minister Ed Miliband confirmed no sabotage linked to the incident though investigations continue to uncover how flames engulfed the substation. “We aim to ensure stability in energy infrastructure critical to national operations” Miliband stated. Heathrow’s Chief Executive Thomas Woldbye welcomed the probe emphasizing efforts to strengthen network reliability post-recovery.
Social media posts on X by airport officials Saturday announced flight resumptions. Extra staff, numbering in hundreds, assist at terminals, while additional flights align with regular timetables to support stranded passengers. Friday’s chaos saw emergency alerts flood police lines as the substation burned fiercely, cutting power to Heathrow entirely.
