  • Flights resumed yesterday evening but airlines have warned travellers they still face delays and cancellations as the airport gets back to normal operating levels.

The article discusses a new theory regarding the Heathrow Airport fire that occurred on March 22, 2025, which left approximately 200,000 travelers stranded.
