London’s Heathrow Airport has reopened after an 18-hour shutdown caused by a fire at a nearby electrical substation, leading to a widespread power outage. The disruption resulted in the cancellation of more than 1,000 flights, impacting approximately 200,000 passengers globally. The first British Airways flight landed just before sunset on Friday, signaling the gradual restoration of services. Authorities have ruled out foul play, but investigations into the fire’s cause are ongoing. While full operations are expected to resume by Saturday, passengers are advised to check with airlines as delays and cancellations may persist.
