Some more details from Flightradar24, which says that more than 1,000 flights will be impacted by the sudden closure of Heathrow today.

“Today’s total closure of London-Heathrow will affect at least 1,351 flights to/from LHR,” the flight tracker said in a post on Bluesky, “That doesn’t include any flights that might be canceled or delayed due to aircraft being out of position.”

Due to a power outage in the London Heathrow area, London Heathrow Airport is currently closed.

As a result, customers due to travel from Heathrow on Friday are advised not to travel to the airport until further notice.

This will clearly have a significant impact on our operation and our customers and we’re working as quickly as possible to update them on their travel options for the next 24 hours and beyond.
