London's Heathrow Airport reopened on Saturday after a power outage at one of the world's busiest airports the previous day caused widespread chaos and cancellations.

The outage, as well as the timing of various religious holidays, meant that traffic was down overall compared to March 2024.

London's Heathrow Airport says it plans to resume some flights later Friday and hopes to return to a full schedule on Saturday.

More than 1,300 flights were affected after a fire at a nearby electrical substation. Hundreds of thousands of passengers were stranded around the world.
