Officials at London's Heathrow Airport say flights are being allowed to take off again after departures were suspended due to a reported drone sighting. The announcement came roughly 90 minutes after London's Metropolitan Police received a report about a drone sighting in the vicinity of the U.K.'s busiest airport on Tuesday. Police have not said whether the investigation confirmed a drone actually flew near the airport. We are working with Air Traffic Control and the Met Police, and have resumed departures out of Heathrow after a short suspension. —@HeathrowAirportThe reported sighting followed the pre-Christmas shutdown of London's Gatwick Airport for parts of three consecutive days — also due to reported drone sightings.
