Heathrow Airport fire: Full list of delayed and cancelled flights as airport gets back to normality after Friday disruption

Heathrow is slowly getting back to normal after the electrical substation fire which wiped out its power for most of yesterday.

Flights started landing at 4.37am, with a British Airways plane from Johannesburg the first to touch down.

The Metropolitan Police are not treating the fire, which started at 11.20pm on Thursday, as suspicious and the London Fire Brigade’s investigation is focusing on the electrical distribution equipment.

Heathrow Airport’s chief executive Thomas Woldbye told reporters on Friday afternoon: “We expect to be back in full operation [on Saturday], so 100% operation as a normal day. (Passengers) should come to the airport as they normally would. There’s no reason to come earlier.”

However, several flights have been cancelled as the schedules slowly get back to normal. Here is the full list as of 7am on Saturday

The advice from Heathrow is to contact airlines before travelling to the airport to make sure there are no last-minute changes.
