In March 2025, Heathrow Airport—Europe’s second-busiest air cargo hub—was brought to a standstill for almost 20 hours. A fire at a nearby electrical substation triggered a cascading power failure, disabling cargo handling systems, warehouse refrigeration, customs clearance, and freighter operations across Terminals 3 and 4. Commercial passenger traffic struggled to continue on backup systems, while cargo operations came to a complete halt.
