Saudia Airlines has officially resumed flights to and from London Heathrow Airport after a fire at a power substation caused a major outage, leading to widespread disruptions. The airline, which had temporarily suspended all operations at Heathrow, confirmed that normal flight schedules are now back in place.

The fire, which occurred at a substation supplying electricity to the airport, caused significant operational challenges, forcing multiple airlines, including Saudia, to halt services

Saudia promptly coordinated with Heathrow authorities to assess the situation and ensure passenger safety. Travelers were advised to delay their journeys and avoid heading to the airport while authorities worked to restore power.

Following the successful restoration of power and resolution of technical issues, Saudia announced the resumption of its Heathrow operations this morning

To accommodate affected travelers, the airline has deployed larger-capacity aircraft and is offering flexible rebooking options. Additionally, passengers whose flights were canceled during the disruption are eligible for fee waivers on ticket changes and refunds.

Saudia continues to monitor the situation closely, ensuring smooth operations and prioritizing passenger convenience. Travelers are encouraged to check their emails and SMS notifications for the latest updates regarding their flights.
