The CEO of Heathrow Airport, Thomas Woldbye, confirmed today, Saturday, that the airport is operating normally, expecting no disruption to operations. However, he did not rule out the possibility of some flight delays or cancellations.

Woldbye added that the cancellation of some flights yesterday, Friday, was due to airlines working hard to assist passengers whose flights were canceled when the airport was closed due to a fire at the power station. He expressed regret for the disruptions caused by the incident, which led to the cancellation of nearly 1,600 flights.

He defended the emergency measures taken by his administration, including the complete closure of the airport, explaining that the power station is not part of the infrastructure owned or managed by the airport.

The management of Heathrow Airport, located west of the British capital, London, confirmed today, Saturday, the resumption of normal flight operations after they were halted yesterday following a fire at the power station.

A major fire that broke out on Thursday evening at the power station in the Hayes area caused a power outage at the airport and thousands of nearby homes, leading to the suspension of air traffic and disruptions to transportation and traffic after all major adjacent roads were closed.
