Contingency Planning for Your Operations: Lessons from the Heathrow Power Outage
London Heathrow's power outage of March 21 caused operational chaos, forcing airlines and GA operators to quickly reroute flights and manage passenger flow. More disruptive events, whether caused by power failures, inclement weather, ATC issues, or geopolitical events, present major challenges for business aviation operators. The stakes are significantly higher because clients' satisfaction depends on them keeping tight schedules, delivering fast turnarounds, and ensuring seamless service. This is why strategic contingency planning is critical to maintaining streamlined operations.
