Heathrow Airport Grounded by Flooding: Cargo and Passenger Flows Halted

A burst water main at Heathrow Airport caused flooding that restricted access to Terminals 2 and 3, forcing passengers to use rail and tube instead of roads. Carpark access was also impeded, leaving parked vehicles inaccessible. The airport remained operational, but delays were reported due to waterlogged areas. Such disruptions can impact global air cargo supply chains, potentially affecting airline operational margins and freight pricing.
