Others were leaving for a Disneyland Paris vacation, taking a business trip to Britain, returning home from a honeymoon in Italy or moving to Australia. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Instead, on Friday, they found themselves sitting on airport floors, riding on buses or checking in to hotels as tens of thousands of passengers were stranded \u2014 unable to reach their destinations because of a power outage that shut down Heathrow Airport.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s a crazy situation,\u201d said Roxanna Bagherzadeh, who was missing Persian New Year\u2019s celebrations with her family in London because her flight from New York never took off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some flights were rerouted midocean for Madrid or Montreal. Others were forced to turn back entirely. American school trippers were being held in London. Musicians worried they would miss their performances. Some travelers took circuitous detours across Europe to reach their families. Others had to give up on big plans. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI was going to propose,\u201d said Kevin Black, a bass player touring Europe with his band who was supposed to be joined by his girlfriend. But her flight turned around and took her back to Nashville.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was going to be on one of the bridges overlooking the river at sunset\u201d in Paris, Mr. Black said of his planned proposal on their European trip. Now, he said, \u201cit will probably be at a waterfall in Tennessee. What can I do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With airlines struggling to respond to huge amounts of requests, many passengers could not get through to them. Flights for the next few days quickly booked up, and the only ones left had exorbitant prices, travelers said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The outage also came as many Americans were starting their spring break, disrupting family plans. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cInstead of fish and chips we have crying children at home,\u201d said David Mahler, 47, who was flying with his wife and 11-year-old twin boys to London from Los Angeles when their flight was turned around over Colorado. They were now back home looking for other options for spring break, he said, but international flights had become too expensive. \u201cWe are kind of stuck,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While passengers at London\u2019s second-largest airport, Gatwick, which received many flights that had been headed to Heathrow, stood in long lines at help desks. Heathrow, which is usually one of the world\u2019s busiest airports, was deserted. The drop-off zone at Terminal 3 was silent, and runways and airline counters were empty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"> A teacher who had been trying to get home to Dallas tried walking between terminals when the bus she was on was not allowed to enter Heathrow. Another traveler, Monel Bailey, tried to walk to the terminal along the highway with his bags when his Uber was stopped by police officers blocking the route to the terminal. It was \u201ca scene of chaos,\u201d Mr. Bailey said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The power outage, caused by a fire at an electrical substation near Heathrow, forced the authorities to close the airport for most of Friday. While some flights were set to resume later Friday, airline officials warned that travel disruptions could last for days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A glance at Heathrow\u2019s flight information board on Friday morning gave a sense of how big the shock waves from the closure would be. Flights from Brunei, India and Vietnam were scheduled to land, and passengers had been expecting to board planes to dozens of destinations: Miami, Singapore, Tokyo \u2026 the list went on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Rachel Morris was eagerly waiting for her sister to join her in Philadelphia for her bridal shower on Saturday, but her flight from London was canceled. \u201cI am devastated,\u201d Ms. Morris said. \u201cShe is my maid of honor and my best friend and she planned the entire thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Stephen McCray was stranded in London, where he had traveled from Seattle for a book tour for his wife\u2019s debut horror novel. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe want to get home,\u201d Mr. McCray, 36, said. \u201cOur dogs are waiting for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Travelers took to social media to complain about the disruption and beseech the airlines for help. One wrote that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/deanosky1\/status\/1903009482050810038\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he had had to pull out<\/a> of a Pok\u00e9mon Go championship, another that she could no longer run in a half-marathon for which she had trained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSad to miss it,\u201d said the half-marathon runner, Samira de Blij, who had been planning to fly from Amsterdam for the race in Reading, west of London, on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Bagherzadeh posted on TikTok what she called \u201cthe saddest travel vlog of all time.\u201d In it, she sat on the plane, took the first step of her in-flight skin care routine and braided her hair so it wouldn\u2019t get messy on the flight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was all for nothing,\u201d she said on a phone call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Bagherzadeh, 27, had intended to have dinner with her grandmother, who had traveled to Britain from France for the occasion. Instead, she sat on a plane on the tarmac for two hours before disembarking and returning home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI had a quick cry, because I wanted to see my mom,\u201d Ms. Bagherzadeh said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dozens of airlines fly to Heathrow from about 180 cities worldwide. Many planes already in the air were forced to divert elsewhere when the airport closed. John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York had the most flights scheduled to arrive at Heathrow on Friday; some were diverted to Manchester, in northwestern England; to Glasgow; or to Reykjavik, Iceland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As many as 290,000 passengers traveling in or out of Heathrow could be affected by the closure, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company. On Friday, 669 flights were scheduled to take off from Heathrow, Cirium said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Heathrow is the main hub for British Airways, which said that it was redirecting flights to other airports in Britain when possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At Fiumicino Airport in Rome, dozens stood in line at the British Airways counter, including a group of high school students from Arizona who had planned to fly home via Heathrow after a week in Italy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Among the chaos, panic and frustration, some still tried to look at the upside. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Marilyn Leblanc said she was flying from Boston to Dublin when the pilot announced that because of the fire at Heathrow they would be heading back. But because the plane needed refueling, they were diverted to Canada for fuel. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSo we left Boston at around 7 p.m. Thursday night and arrived back Friday morning at 5 a.m.,\u201d Ms. Leblanc said. \u201cJust a nice Sunday drive around the ocean!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Reporting was contributed by <!-- -->Nicholas Yong<!-- --> from Singapore; <!-- -->Jonathan Wolfe<!-- --> and <!-- -->Lynsey Chutel<!-- --> from London; and <!-- -->Matthew Mpoke Bigg<!-- --> from Rome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/22\/world\/europe\/heathrow-airport-closure-flights.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some travelers were headed to weddings, some to funerals.
