Heathrow Airport pipe leak causes flood disruptionWater in the central terminal area means passengers cannot use roads to the airport.31 mins agoLondon

Heathrow Airport has warned access to Terminals 2 and 3 is restricted because of flooding caused by a leak in a pipe within the grounds of the airport.

Water in the central terminal area means anyone trying to travel to or from either of these terminals cannot travel by road. Instead passengers are being advised to travel by rail and Tube and to avoid using cars.

An airport spokesperson said: “Our teams are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, we apologise for any disruption caused,” adding: “The leak has been isolated and repairs are on-going.”

The disruption comes during the school holidays, one of the busiest periods for the airport.

The airport was recently affected by disruption to railway services, after a water leak prompted the closure of a tunnel.
