The largest airport in Europe in London remains: more than 200,000 passengers were hit by the power outages on Friday (see video above). Flights to London also failed from Austria, as announced by Vienna-Schwechat.
A total of 20 flights between Vienna and London would be planned on Friday – ten, ten. 15 of them had already been canceled in the early afternoon. Further effects cannot be excluded, it said. Vienna Airport advised travelers to contact their airline or the organizer.
Directors will be reversed for flights during Saturday. You are entitled to meals and accommodation until your actual departure. On the other hand, if you have a connecting flight, you can fly over other hubs such as Frankfurt this Friday.
No proof of intentions
The reason for the power failure is a fire in a substation. Why the fire broke out is still unclear. The fire brigade was able to extinguish the flames. As a precaution, the London police called in their anti-terrorist researchers. However, there is currently no proof of intentional action, emphasizes the metropolitan policy. The sources and skills of the anti-terrorist unit are meant to help quickly.

For the time being, the airport must remain closed until midnight (local time). The problems can still exist in the coming days, it said in a statement. The mayor of London Sadiq Khan expressed insight into the people involved. He could imagine that people had planned their honeymoon or a long journey, visited a loved one or just wanted to come home. This means discomfort for thousands of people. It will be ensured that education would be drawn from the case.
Tens of thousands of households without electricity
In the meantime, tens of thousands of households were also without electricity. A woman said she wanted to fly to the US and see her favorite ice hockey team. She is now “pretty irritated”. A man complained that a hotel had also raised prices after chaos. Passengers in London were instructed not to go to the airport and to contact their airline.
