Heathrow Airport warns of travel chaos due to terminal flooding
Flooding in the central terminal area of Heathrow Airport has resulted in ongoing road closures, restricting access to Terminals 2 and 3. The airport has issued a warning advising passengers traveling to or from these specific terminals not to travel by road.
To mitigate disruption, Heathrow recommends using the Heathrow Express, Elizabeth Line, or Piccadilly Line rail services. Passengers traveling by car are advised to use Park and Ride services at Terminals 4 or 5 and utilize free rail connections from those locations.
The flooding occurs during a peak travel period during the school summer holidays. Recent data shows Heathrow recorded 7.86 million passengers in July, while Istanbul Airport recorded 8.15 million, overtaking Heathrow as Europe's busiest hub.
