Heathrow’s boss said he has obtained an “extra loud phone” after sleeping through multiple calls when a decision was made to close the airport because of a power outage.

Chief executive Thomas Woldbye was asleep as his senior staff decided to suspend operations because of a fire at a nearby electrical substation.
