Fri 21 March – Heathrow Airport Closure

The fire at a nearby power station, which caused a significant power outage across Heathrow airport, has resulted in major disruption with all flights cancelled. The airport is to remain shut until midnight.

PML Seafrigo, whose facilities are unaffected by the fire, is extending an offer to those whose freight is impacted by the situation, providing a collection service from alternative UK airports where imported goods have been unexpectedly rerouted. In addition, PML Seafrigo is able to ensure the seamless movement of exported goods to alternative London airports, specifically London Gatwick or Stansted, subject to space and availability.

PML Seafrigo UK and Ireland CEO, Mike Parr. Says, “We are keen to help companies affected by this situation, especially those whose consignments comprise perishable goods, where any delay in transfer has a detrimental effect on shelf life. We operate a 24/7 service so we can step in and help immediately. Contact our helpline (0)20 8893 2666.”
