Heathrow Blackout Highlights Vulnerabilities in Airport Power Supply

Reported 1 day ago

The recent blackout at London Heathrow Airport, caused by a fire at a nearby electrical substation, has raised concerns about the airport's reliance on a single power source. This incident, which halted flights for nearly a day, underscores the need for improved redundancy in critical infrastructure, especially as Heathrow prepares for expansion plans. Former British Airways CEO Willie Walsh criticized the airport's planning, and the UK government has initiated an investigation to enhance energy resilience at the airport and across the nation.
