The closure of Heathrow, with regular flights to 80 countries around the world, caused a series of universities in global air traffic, as flights had to be canceled or transferred.
The first aircraft began to land and take off on Friday afternoon. The sponsorships explained that “home return trips” mainly for the passengers who have been transferred to other European airports.
The spokesman said on Saturday morning: “We can confirm that Heathrow is open and his work is completely today,” the spokesman said on Saturday morning.
He added: “The airport teams continue to do everything possible to help passengers affected yesterday in a sub -station outside the airport.”
About 1350 flights were affected by the closure on Friday, according to Flighttar24.
This is expected to be late on Saturday and its cancellation before normalizing the service.
“We have hundreds of additional employees at our stations and add flights to today’s programming to facilitate the airport of 10,000 other passengers,” the spokesman said. Travelers advised to consult with their airlines about the latest information about their flights.

On Saturdays, British Airways usually has about 600 flights that start and reach this airport.
The airline explained that the return operations “after such an important incident is very complicated.” He warned, “It is possible that all the customers who travel to the delay experience.”
On Friday, more than 100,000 British Airways customers were affected by the closure of the airport. In total, the accident affected at least 200,000 people.
About 230,000 Heathrow Daily, with a total of 83 million a year, makes it one of the most popular airports in the world and the first airports in Europe.
The volume of the turmoil led to interrogations about the weakness of one of the most important transportation infrastructure in the United Kingdom.
Firefighters said that the cause of the fire, who announced Thursday night, “did not seem suspicious” and that the investigation would focus “on electrical distribution equipment.”
Previously, the London Metropolitan Police announced that their anti -terrorist unit is heading to an investigation into the fire, given its repercussions, but there were no indications of the criminal intention.
Under the title “CHAOS”, many British newspapers wondered on the first pages on Saturday that something similar might have happened.
The airport manager, Thomas and Oldby, apologized for the “discomfort” that caused travelers and confirmed that the “of these” wings is “not a precedent.”
The airport has several sources of electricity generators and emergency generators, but these systems are not designed to ensure the full performance of the infrastructure, according to its operator.
