Heathrow warned by airlines about power supply before shutdown

Heathrow Airport was warned about the “resilience” of its power supply in the days before a fire which shut down the airport for over a day last month.
Nigel Wicking, chief executive of the Heathrow Airline Operators’ Committee, told a group of MPs on Wednesday that he spoke to the Team Heathrow director on 15 March about his concerns.
Chief executive Thomas Woldbye apologised to the nearly 300,000 passengers whose journeys were disrupted by the closure on 21 March, which was caused by a fire at a nearby electrical substation.
He offered his “deepest regrets” adding that the “situation was unprecedented”.
He added that he recognised “the considerable inconvenience and concern it caused”.
