Passengers scheduled to travel from London Heathrow Airport to Malta today, March 21st, are being urged to avoid the airport as it is currently closed due to a major power outage.

The High Commission of Malta in the United Kingdom has issued a warning advising travellers not to make their way to Heathrow, which will remain shut until 11:59 PM tonight. The disruption was caused by a fire at the electrical substation supplying the airport, leading to a significant loss of power.

Travellers affected by the closure are advised to contact their airline for further updates and alternative travel arrangements.
