Heathro Airport, “Full Practical”, after setting fire to the chaos of travel – national

London Heathrow Airport He said he was “working at full capacity” on Saturday, nearly after that A day closing for a day ignited by a fire station fire. But the airlines warned that the severe turmoil will continue for several days while they were scrambling to transport aircraft and crews and get travelers to their destinations.

The airport president said he was proud of Heathrow’s response to the accident. But annoying passengers, angry airlines and politicians concerned sought answers about how one of the accidental fire could seem more crowded in Europe.

“We have hundreds of additional colleagues at our stations, and we have added flights to today’s schedule to facilitate 10,000 additional passengers traveling through the airport,” Heathrow said in a statement.

British Airways, the largest airline in Heathrow, said it expects about 85 percent of flights of 600 flights at the airport on Saturday. “To restore our size after such an important incident is very complicated,” he said.

More than 1,300 flights were canceled, and about 200,000 people were cut on Friday after a fire during the night, two miles (3.2 km) away from the airport energy to Heathrow, and to more than 60,000 ownership.

The residents of West London described a large explosion, then they saw a fiery ball and a smoke withdrawn when the fire exploded through the sub -station. The fire was controlled after seven hours, but the airport was closed for approximately 18.

The police said they were not considered suspicious fire, and London Fire Brigade said that its achievement would focus on electrical distribution equipment at the sub -station.

However, the tremendous influence of fire has left the authorities facing criticism that the loud British infrastructure is not ready to deal with disasters or attacks.

The British government admitted that the authorities had questions to answer and said that there is a strict investigation to ensure that “this size of the turmoil does not happen again.”

Thomas and Oldby, CEO of Heathrow, said he was “proud” the way the airport employees and airline employees responded.

“Remember that the situation was not created at Heathrow Airport,” he told the BBC. “The airport has not been closed for several days. We were closed for hours.”

He said that Heathrow’s reserve energy supplies, designed for emergency situations, worked as expected, but it was not enough to operate the entire airport, which uses a lot of energy like a small city.

“The same thing will happen in other airports” in the face of a similar fire.

Heathrow is one of the most busy airports in the world for international travel, and witnessed 83.9 million passengers last year.

The passengers were in about 120 flights in the air when the closure was announced and found themselves landing in different cities, and even different countries.

On Friday, a disturbance was one of the most dangerous since the eruption of the Ikavraglagocol volcano in Iceland for the year 2010, which led to the withdrawal of ash in the air and closed the airspace of Europe for several days.

Mark Duhri and his wife were in the middle of the Atlantic when the completion map showed their flight from John Kennedy Airport in New York to Heathrow.

“I was like, you were joking,” Duhri said before the pilot told the passengers that they were returning to New York.

Duhreti described the position, “England’s typical-you did not get a backup plan like this. There is no emergency plan.”
