“This morning, after the power outage by GEBE, the airport’s backup system failed to respond correctly, leaving the airport without power. The cause appears to be one of the new generators, which is causing a shutdown. The airport requires three generators to operate simultaneously in order to provide adequate power. This system had worked flawlessly before,” the airport said.

“Technicians have been working since 5:50 AM to resolve the issue. An update will be provided as soon as more information becomes available. Flights will be affected this morning, so please contact your airline for further details.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” a statement read.
