United Airlines anticipated running the majority of its planned flights to London on Friday while making necessary schedule adjustments in collaboration with airport officials, according to an airline statement by AP.
Meanwhile, British Airways announced that services from Heathrow Airport will gradually resume from 7 pm (local time). The airline has received approval for eight long-haul departures, including flights to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Singapore, Riyadh, Sydney, and Buenos Aires. Passengers have been advised not to head to the airport unless directly notified.
Heathrow Airport confirmed it can now "safely" resume flight operations after earlier cautioning about extended disruptions due to a power outage linked to a fire at an electrical substation. The first plane has already arrived, and British Airways aims to restore full operations by Saturday.
