Hello, I'm Nick Marsh with the BBC Business updates.
London's Heathrow Airport will be closed throughout Friday over what's been described as a significant power outage linked to a fire at a nearby electrical substation that supplies it.
The airport, which is Europe's busiest,
has warned of significant disruption over the coming days and told passengers not to travel under any circumstances until it reopens.
Dozens of flights have had to turn back or be diverted to other airports in the UK and elsewhere.
Our correspondent Charlotte Gallagher is at Heathrow Airport.
You can actually smell the smoke in the air around the airport.
So it obviously was a huge fire.
People aren't going to be where they're supposed to be.
The crews are not going to be at the airports.
They need to be.
People have got lucky.
Some of them, they've been diverted to Gatwick, for example,
but others are going to find themselves in Paris, in Shannon, in Ireland.
That's where some people have been diverted to.
And of course, when the airport does open,
there's going to be this huge backlog of passengers that want to go on their holidays.
