The boss of Heathrow Airport has apologised to the over 200,000 passengers whose journeys were disrupted by its closure last month following a fire. Thomas Woldbye offered his "deepest regrets" adding that the "situation was unprecedented".

The boss of Heathrow came under fire for an 18-hour shutdown at the airport last month after an airline representative said he had raised concerns about the hub's resilience days earlier, as lawmakers scrutinised the nationally embarrassing incident.

Heathrow Airport was warned about its power supply in the days before it closed because of an outage, MPs were told.

Three people have been killed after a collision between a bus and a car near Heathrow Airport in west London. The Metropolitan Police said it was called to Bedfont Road, Feltham, at around 11.55pm on Monday,
