Heathrow airport opened again on Saturday morning after a complete shutdown caused by electric shutdown, but the airline warned of further violations when they restarted surgery.

The airport was completely opened for flights on Saturday morning, and the first planes flew immediately after 6am.

Hitrov said it was “open and fully prompt”, but the airlines canceled almost 100 flights on Saturday to 8am, when they started the logistics task of rebooting their activities with planes, crews and passengers to leave the place and scattered around the world.

Thomas Waldby, Hitrov Executive Director, said on Saturday that he was “proud” the airport’s reaction to Electric Disable And he did not predict “serious breakdowns”.

However, some airline executives were privately in the airport reports that he fully recovered, given that they still cancel the flights and cope Pungers stuffed.

The British Airways is definitely the largest airline operator in Hitts, said on Saturday is expected to cancel about 15 percent of its schedule to hires, which will be about 90 flights.

“To restore the work of our size after such a significant incident, it is extremely difficult. It is likely that all travel customers will experience delays when we continue to navigate the problems that are on the electricity shutdown on Friday,” the airline said.

Hitrov was closed in the first hours after a fire at a local electricity substation in West London, which caused electricity shutdown at the airport.

The airport and the national network are facing intense control over how one of three substations can lead to nearly 24 hours.

Viliy Walsh, a former boss and a long -time critic Hitrov, said there was a “planning break” at the airport.

Waldby said the airport backup for its important features, including the runway lanterns and the check tower that started but were not designed to feed the entire airport.

“We will need a separate waiting power plant.

“Of course, we will understand this and let’s say whether we can learn from this, whether we need a different level of stability if we cannot believe that the network is working the way we should.”

The national network on Saturday said it was taking steps to improve sustainability in its network.

FTSE 100 owns and manages the North Hyde Substation in Hayce, West London, which caught fire at the end of Thursday, causing questions about the vulnerability of the UK’s critical infrastructure.

The cause of the fire is still investigating, but the national network stated that the authorities were restored to all customers.

“The power materials have been restored to all customers connected to our North Hyde substation, including hires, which allows the operations to be restored at the airport. We are now implementing measures that will further increase the level of stability of our network,” the statement reads.

About 1300 flights were canceled on Friday, and flights were already in the air either turned to their original airport or redirected to other centers across Europe.

This has left the airline, which is facing a big problem when they restart their schedules: many of their planes, pilots and cabins are in the wrong places, while many employees will also not be able to work with the strict recreation rules.

“All these aircraft on length-in privacy, BA-pushed at the airports they never had to be. If there were no crews to pick them up, the airlines will fight to make their planes moving again as usual,” said John Stricland, aviation consultant.

“The crew will also need a day or two before they can restart, and every extra day – additional cancellations that work in the following days. This is a dominance effect.”

Hitrov said he added an additional 50 noble slots to his schedule, which would allow another 10,000 passengers to travel on Saturday when airlines can find planes and crew for them.

The Command of the Metropolitan Police in London continues to keep requests for a fire at the substation, but on Friday night, Meth said he did not consider the incident as suspicious.
