LONDON — London's Heathrow Airport resumed full operations on Saturday as it ordered a probe into how it dealt with a power outage that shut Europe's busiest air hub for almost a day. British Airways, whose main hub is Heathrow , said it had operated around 90 percent of its schedule on Saturday and promised a 'near-full' schedule for Sunday after chief executive Sean Doyle on Friday warned the 'huge impact' would last days.
'We don't expect any major amount of flights to be canceled or delayed,' Heathrow Chief Executive Thomas Woldbye told BBC radio. The airport has hundreds of additional staff on hand to facilitate an extra 10,000 passengers traveling through the airport, a spokesperson said in a statement. But airlines were still left dealing with disrupted schedules and tens of thousands of passengers whose journeys had been interrupted.
