UK ministers launch investigation into blaze that shut Heathrow

UK ministers have launched an investigation into the fire at an electrical substation that forced Heathrow airport to close. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has instructed the National Energy System Operator to urgently investigate the incident. Heathrow airport has reopened following the fire, but airlines continue to face disruptions with cancelled flights and logistical challenges. National Grid, the owner of the substation, is also taking steps to improve network resilience.

Despite the challenges, passengers at Heathrow have noted minimal disruption.
