Heathrow Reimagined: A Better Hub for Britain responds to the report on the Heathrow power outage by the National Energy System Operator (NESO)
A spokesperson for the Heathrow Reimagined campaign, said:
"Over 1,300 flights were cancelled at the UK’s only hub airport leading to disruption for thousands of passengers.
NESO highlights the lack of resilience and operational continuity, including known vulnerabilities in Heathrow’s private internal electrical distribution network.
This is another example of Heathrow’s lack of operational resilience which is incentivised and enabled by a flawed regulatory framework.
NESO’s findings support our urgent call for a fundamental review of Heathrow’s economic regulatory model by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).”
