Terminal 4 at Heathrow Airport has been evacuated as emergency services responded to a suspected hazardous materials incident.
The London Fire Brigade has deployed specialist crews from multiple stations, including Feltham, Heathrow, and Wembley, to assess the situation, which has now prompted a precautionary closure of the terminal’s check-in area. Passengers are advised not to travel to Terminal 4, while staff on-site assist those already at the airport.
A spokesperson from Heathrow Airport said: “Terminal 4 check in has been closed and evacuated while emergency services respond to an incident. We are asking passengers not to travel to Terminal 4 and supporting those on site.”
