Counter-terror officers from the Metropolitan Police are leading the investigation into a major fire that has closed Heathrow Airport.
The force said there was “currently no indication of foul play” but officers were retaining an “open mind at this time” into the cause of the blaze.
Flights were cancelled, people evacuated from their homes and local schools shut after two explosions and a fire at an electrical substation in Hayes, west London on Thursday night.
The airport previously warned it would be closed for the whole of Friday, but later said it was “able to begin some flights”, although people should “not travel to the airport unless your airline has advised you to”.
A spokesperson added the first flights would focus on “repatriating the passengers who were diverted to other airports in Europe… and relocating aircraft”, with plans “to run a full operation tomorrow”.
