Guidance to consumers impacted by Heathrow Airport incident– 21 March 2025

Heathrow Airport is closed today due to a fire at a nearby electrical substation, affecting the supply of power to its terminals. Unfortunately, this means that today’s flights to and from the airport have been cancelled. The knock-on effect may also lead to delays and further cancellations over the weekend.

Earlier this year, we consulted on the proposal of extending paid-for initial (Ab initio) pilot training to be conducted using amateur-built microlights which hold a UK national Permit-to-Fly (PtF). Having conducted a detailed analysis, this document sets out the results of this consultation and summarises our next steps.
