Heathrow Airport said Friday that it has no clear timeline for restoring power after a fire at a nearby electrical substation, warning that disruptions could last for days. The UK's busiest airport remains closed, with passengers urged not to travel until further notice.
In a statement, Heathrow admitted it has no "clarity on when power may be reliably restored" and expects "significant disruption over the coming days." Authorities stress that passengers should not attempt to reach the airport under any circumstances until operations resume.
The shutdown has caused widespread chaos, forcing major airlines to cancel or divert flights. As a key global hub, Heathrow's closure is affecting thousands of travelers. In response, Eurostar has added extra trains between London and Paris, increasing capacity by 882 passengers per train on Friday.
