First plane lands at London’s Heathrow since a fire shuttered Europe’s busiest air travel hub.

The first plane has landed at London’s Heathrow Airport since a fire at an electrical substation shuttered Europe’s busiest air travel hub.

The British Airways jet touched down on Friday about 18 hours after the airport was closed due to a massive power outage.
Heathrow had canceled all flights for the day but was able to resume some after electricity was restored.

More than 1,300 flights to and from Heathrow were affected, flight tracking service FlightRadar 24 said. The impact is likely to last several days, as passengers try to reschedule their travel and airlines work to reposition aircraft and crews. (Associated Press)
