Shutters Closed on March 21 after a massive fire at nearby electricity caused a reduction in electricity at the airport, which led to the cancellation of more than 1300 flights. The airport has not opened more than 24 hours.
“I actually warned Heathrows about the problems we had against the substations, I was concerned,” said Nigel Wieck, Executive Director of Hethrow AOC, who is using the airport, said on Wednesday the Transport Commission.
Viking told the deputies that he first expressed concern on March 15 after “several incidents of the steal of wire and cable around some power supply, which once pulled the runway for a certain period.”
Thomas Waldby, the Health Running director, apologized for the disruption of the airlines and passengers. “The situation was unprecedented, and we recognize the considerable concern and inconvenience it caused,” he said.
Waldby insisted that there was nothing left at the airport except to close security but said the airport would reconsider whether it could open some terminals faster.
“I am absolutely obliged to make sure that we will find out in this,” he added.
The National Network, which operates in the UK with high voltage, said the Power was always available at the airport from the other closest substations that did not affect Blaze.
The airport delay was caused by the hitches of Heathrows, who must adjust their power supply to take electricity from the other two substations, which took about 10 hours, Woldbi said.
He insisted that Hitrov “concluded an elastic setting”, which includes “reserve transformers (and) parallel lines to the airport from three different substations”.
“There is a question of where the stability should lie,” he added.
