London’s Heathrow Airport has closed due to a large power outage, which was caused by a nearby fire. This has disrupted travel for many people worldwide.
One affected flight was British Airways flight BA078, which was supposed to go from Accra to London. Instead, it had to land in Lyon, France because of the issues at Heathrow.
The fire occurred at a power station close to the airport, leading to a blackout and many flight cancellations. Emergency teams, such as the London Fire Brigade, are working to control the fire.
They describe the situation as long-lasting, which is also causing problems for local residents.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
Heathrow is a major airport with lots of people flying in and out every day. Its closure is causing big problems for international flights. Reports say over 1,300 flights are affected, and about 145,000 passengers are dealing with delays and cancellations.
The airport advises people not to travel to Heathrow and suggests contacting airlines for updates, as the airport is not operating right now.
“Passengers should not travel to the airport under any circumstances until the airport reopens,” Heathrow officials stated.
