Air India cancels flights to and from London

|March 22, 2025
BRITAIN'S HEATHROW SAID flights would resume later on Friday after a fire knocked out its power supply and shut Europe's busiest airport for the day, stranding thousands of passengers and causing travel turmoil worldwide.
Heathrow said its teams had worked tirelessly to reopen the world's fifth-busiest airport after it was forced to close entirely after a huge fire engulfed a substation near the airport on Thursday night, with travellers told to stay away.
The airport had been due to handle 1,351 flights on Friday, flying up to 291,000 passengers, but planes were diverted to other airports in Britain and across Europe, while many long-haul flights returned to their point of departure.
"We're now safely able to restart flights, prioritising repatriation and relocation of aircraft," Heathrow said in a statement on X.
