The Hitrov British Airport, which is the most loaded airport in Europe and the fifth in the world, has started the process of recovery after a serious fire at the electrical substation. The Executive Director of Hitrou Thomas Voldbai apologized to the passengers, emphasizing that the situation was "too complicated for the airport".
He noted that the full operation of the airport is hoped to restore tomorrow, March 22. "Our teams have worked tirelessly since the accident to ensure a quick recovery. We can now restore flights safely by paying primary attention to repatriation and moving aircraft," Voldbai said.
Earlier, Hitrow was forced to stop work for several hours due to a fire at electrical substations. According to sources, reserve generators were unable to fully provide energy. As a result, according to Flightradar24, at least 120 flights that were already in the air had to be redirected.
The cause of the fire is still unknown. Counter -terrorist employees will investigate the incident, as the infrastructure needs special attention to security.
