The prime minister said he was “deeply concerned” about the closure of Hesro airport due to electricity cuts caused by a fire at a nearby power plant.
Sir Kier Starmer told the BBC “there are questions” for the heads of the largest airport in Britain to respond to 18 hours on Friday, which destroyed flights about 200,000 passengers.
On Monday, Hecero defended his decision to close after claims that he had enough authority to work after a secondary station fire.
The airport said it had been forced to have ground flights because of the time needed to be replaced at the sub-stalled sub-power, but added that it was “can and learned.
The effects of Friday’s fire from a single source of electricity raised questions about the plans of resistance and the disaster of Hesro, which passes through thousands of passengers and millions of pounds a day through its four terminals.
The airport, along with the National Network, which supervises the British Electricity Network, and Hesro, agreed on the effects of the fire that erupted at the Hais side plants.
But National Grid CEO John Triugriu told the Financial Times that two other secondary stations would remain in operation and have the ability to strengthen the airport.
He said he could not remember to some extent during his 30 years of career, but said there was a level of resistance, provided by two other secondary stations.
“Any substation individually can provide the necessary forces for Hesro,” he said.
In an interview with the BBC, Sir Kir said there were still unanswered questions.
“I don’t want to see an airport important that Hesero got down on Friday, so I’m not comfortable with that for a second,” he said.
Investigation order issued By the government to establish what happened, with the initial findings provided within six weeks.
Domestic review of the airport crisis management plans and answers by former Transport Minister Rut Kelly, an independent member of the board of directors of Hesro.
Transport Minister Heidi Alexander told the BBC that the airport’s “good-minded” resistance plans had worked as a purpose, but said they had never been designed to protect the entire airport.
Asked whether he trusted the Hesro leadership team, after reporting reports from some high directorates, he left the airport to close the airport, Alexander said, “There is no question for me.
He said earlier Friday he understood that Hesro’s manager, Javier ICev, “makes some of the important decisions,” but “has a lot of responses to a lot of moments,” when he asked to talk to CEO Thomas Woldbay.
“Those who need to ask themselves whether they have full confidence in the management of Hecero, it is the Hesro Board,” he added.
The BBC has contacted the airport on reports.
Hesro has a power stock company, which uses diesel and battery generators, but these only keep important safety systems, such as landing machines and flight lights.
A different generator generator provides heat and electricity for the second terminal.
The airport’s CEO, Mr. Woldbay, said that the arrears have failed during the power outage, which means that the systems must be closed before the electricity can be restored.
Hesro managers decided to close the airport to safety, while converting to alternative needs of the National Network.
“The volume of Hesro and the complications of the operations, safely, the resumption of work after the destruction of this size was a significant challenge,” a spokesman said Monday.
“Our goal was to open safely and practically after the fire.
The length of extinguishing angry airlines, which had to pay the cost of repayment, reservations of customers, as well as installing trapped passengers in hotels and providing food costs.
Former British Airways coach Willi Walsh said Friday that the airport planning was “precary failure.
Since then, the BBC has contacted the main airlines working outside Hesro’s terminals to ask how much it costs Friday, but all of them have refused to comment or have not responded.
He understands that there are concerns in the industry but there is no mechanism to recover such costs from responsible airport, when flights are beyond airline control.
