An electrical substation that supplies Heathrow Airport with power has caught alight, leaving the airport and its cargo areas without power.
As Europe’s busiest airport, significant disruption is to be expected over the coming days for travellers and global consignments.
This outage is expected to impact cargo shipments, forcing airlines and logistics companies to divert freight to alternative airports such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam Schiphol, Paris and Madrid.
It is estimated around 150 people have been evacuated from the local area and told to hold any travel plans. The airport's trainlines are also facing major disruptions.
Woodland Group will continue to closely monitor any developments and will provide customers with any relevant updates.
