Flightradar24 reports that at least 1,351 flights to and from Heathrow will be impacted by the current aircraft diversions at Heathrow.
According to a statement from the flight monitoring website, “that doesn’t include any flights that might be canceled or delayed due to aircraft being out of position.”
Cirium, an aviation statistics business, estimates that the stoppage may impact up to 145,000 people.
Ian Petchenik, a representative for FlightRadar24, said that flights worldwide would be affected by Heathrow Airport’s unscheduled shutdown.
He told the Telegraph, “Heathrow is one of the major hubs of the world.” “The operations of airlines worldwide will be disrupted by this.”
