Fire near London airport/Hundreds of flights cancelled

A massive fire broke out near London's Heathrow Airport on Friday. The blaze knocked out power to Europe's busiest flight hub, forcing it to close and disrupting global travel for hundreds of thousands of passengers.

At least 1,350 flights to and from Heathrow were cancelled, flight tracking service FlightRadar 24 said, and the impact is likely to last for several days as passengers try to reschedule their travel and airlines work to get planes and crew to the right places.

It remains unclear whether power to the airport has been fully restored, following the work carried out so far.

Authorities do not know what caused the fire, but so far they have found no evidence that it was intentional or under suspicious circumstances.

Residents in west London told local media they heard a loud explosion, followed by a large plume of fire and smoke, when the fire broke out at an electrical substation near the airport. /CNA
