Heathrow Airport Important Message


















才剛專注開始研究起希斯洛機場特有的航班盤旋模式與降落路徑時,
就在電視新聞頭條上看見英國宣佈破獲恐怖份子意圖炸毀往來英美班
機的攻擊陰謀,看著全副武裝的機場航警跟警犬來回加強巡邏,安撿
人員仔細檢查旅客的行李,整個機場滿爆到不能再滿的旅客拿著用塑
膠密封袋裝著的證件登機,乘客一律搜身、不准攜帶手提行李上機。
我特地上官方網站看機場貼出的重要公告,一時之間頗有世界即將要
爭戰的崩壞危機感出現。

Due to the heightened security at UK airports, the Heathrow Airport website is currently experiencing a high level of people visiting the site.

The airport is experiencing severe disruption to its operation.

Inbound flights: Airlines are operating short-haul flights into Heathrow. Inbound
long-haul flights continue to operate but with delays.

Outbound flights: Check-in and hand search processes across all four terminals
is severely affected, and will continue throughout the evening. Passengers should
check with their airline before travelling to the airport and to expect delays. British
Airways has cancelled its short-haul departures schedule for the rest of the day.

Travelling tomorrow or this weekend? Heathrow is open and hopes to return
to near normal operations, within the new restrictions. In brief: Hand baggage
restrictions are in place; Passengers will be handsearched; Footwear and all
items (including pushchairs and walking aids) must be x-ray screened; Liquids will
be removed from the passenger. We therefore ask anyone intending to fly tomorrow
and over the weekend to arrive at the airport prepared.
This means arriving with no hand luggage and bringing
those items allowed into the cabin in a clear plastic bag.
這點讓我感覺非常像難民要通過檢查關卡。


We apologise for any inconvenience and hope to resume access to the website
as soon as possible
