LONDON (AFP)—Britain's Heathrow airport, Europe's busiest, shut down early Friday after a major fire at an electricity substation cut power to the sprawling hub, disrupting hundreds of flights and thousands of travelers.
Airport authorities said they "expect significant disruption" over the coming days, while online flight tracking service FlightRadar24 said at least 1,351 flights to and from the airport would be affected.
"Heathrow is experiencing a significant power outage," the airport operator said in a statement on its website, adding it would be closed until just before midnight on Friday.
"Passengers should not travel to the airport under any circumstances until the airport reopens."
Some 120 flights heading to Heathrow were in the air when the closure was announced, FlightRadar24 said.
