India, March 22 -- The United Kingdom's Heathrow Airport has confirmed that it is "open and fully operational" as of Saturday, March 22. The confirmation came hours after a British Airways jet touched down at the airport late Friday, nearly 18 hours after a fire at an electrical substation caused a power outage and forced the closure of the air hub.

With the airport's return to normal operations, passengers will continue to face delays and cancellations, a PA media report said.

This is a developing story. We will update with more information.
