BRITAIN-AIRPORT-HEATHROW-AVIATION-FIRE

A British Airways plane prepares to take off Gatwick airport, south London, on March 21, 2025 following the closure of Heathrow airport after a fire broke out at a substation supplying power of the airport. Britain's Heathrow airport, Europe's busiest, was shut down early on March 21 for 24 hours after a major fire at an electricity substation cut power to the sprawling facility west of London, officials said. The UK's second busiest airport, Gatwick, said it would accept some flights from Heathrow. "We are aware of the situation at Heathrow Airport today and are supporting as required. Flights from London Gatwick are operating as normal today," Gatwick said on X. (Photo by Glyn KIRK / AFP) (Photo by GLYN KIRK/AFP via Getty Images)
