Air ਭਾਰਤ, Virgin Atlantic, and British Airways resumed their scheduled flights from Delhi to London Heathrow (LHR) on Saturday after the airport recovered from a power outage that disrupted travel plans the previous day.
On Friday, many flights were canceled, affecting thousands of passengers, including those traveling from ਭਾਰਤ. However, by Saturday morning, flights from Air ਭਾਰਤ, British Airways, and Virgin Atlantic to LHR were back on schedule. Air ਭਾਰਤ also has another flight planned for departure in the afternoon.
The Delhi airport has six daily flights to LHR, British Airways operates eight flights daily between ਭਾਰਤ and LHR, including three from Mumbai and two from Delhi, while Virgin Atlantic has five daily flights from Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Air ਭਾਰਤ has six flights connecting to LHR.
Heathrow Airport confirmed on X that flights had resumed and reassured passengers that they were “open and fully operational,” adding that teams were working to assist passengers affected by the power outage caused by an issue at an off-airport substation.
