Heathrow Airport buzzes with energy as travelers eagerly resume journeys following a temporary closure caused by a power outage.
Ganesh Suresh, a 25-year-old student headed back to Bangalore, India, shared his experience of the chaotic shutdown as he secured a new flight after his original one with Air India was canceled. "I was so eager to get back," he recalled, revealing the frustration he expressed toward his parents during the disruption. Those arriving for their flights on Saturday had adjusted quickly, utilizing reopened train and transport services to reach the airport, which had seen quiet roads just a day prior.
A spokesman for Heathrow confirmed the airport was now fully operational, noting that the day's extra flights could welcome an additional 10,000 travelers. While flight information boards indicated that most flights were scheduled to depart on time, long lines at ticket counters indicated that many passengers might still face delays as they navigated through the bustling airport environment.
