JEDDAH— Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) announced the resumption of regular flights to and from Heathrow Airport London, starting Saturday morning, March 22, by using aircraft with larger seating capacity.

The Saudi national carrier announced this in an official statement issued on Friday evening. Earlier, on Friday Saudia had suspended all flights to and from London until further notice.

In a previous statement on X account, the airline attributed the suspension of service to the disruption in the airport's operating system following a power outage due to a fire at a substation that supplies the airport with energy.

In the statement, the airline confirmed that it is closely monitoring developments with Heathrow Airport officials and is communicating directly with passengers to inform them of updates related to the situation. Saudia had urged passengers in London not to travel to Heathrow Airport, and instructed transit passengers not to travel to Jeddah and Riyadh airports until further notice.
