Heathrow Airport – Fusion Nepal

Another day, another drone-related airport shutdown.

It’s only been a few weeks since drone sightings at London’s Gatwick Airport caused around 1,000 flights to be delayed, and prompted a huge police search for the culprits.

And on Tuesday evening, shortly after the government announced new police powers and regulations regarding drones, it’s happened again.

Shortly before 6pm, London’s Heathrow Airport posted the following tweet:

We are responding to a drone sighting at Heathrow and are working closely with the Met Police to prevent any threat to operational safety. As a precautionary measure, we have stopped departures while we investigate. We apologise to passengers for any inconvenience this may cause.

On May 4, Heathrow Airport in London debuted some new routes to select far-off destinations.

Among the destinations on the departures board are Hoth, Endor, and Tatooine.

If those seem like difficult places for an airplane to travel, rest assured that it’s all in the spirit of today’s blessed holiday.

Good morning from Heathrow. The force is strong with us today and we’ve got some special new routes. Will you be travelling to galaxies near… or far, far away? #Maythe4th #MayTheFourth #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsDay 🌌🌟 pic.twitter.com/B9IcnMOMxC
