An energy cut at the Thurgood Marshall International Airport of Baltimore/Washington caused considerable delays in flights and other interruptions on air trips on Monday morning.
Airport authorities reported that the blackout was affecting areas of the main terminal and an adjacent parking garage. Electricity was completely restored around noon, they published social networks officials.
More than 150 flights were delayed and more dozen had been canceled during the morning, according to a flight tracking website.

The airport authorities advised the passengers to verify with their airlines on the state of the flights. They also mentioned that some arrival flights were being diverted.
In a publication in social networks shortly before 10:00 in the morning, the authorities reported that energy was slowly restoring throughout the main terminal. They affirmed that some airlines were using air stairs to disembark the passengers.
The authorities announced around noon that the electricity supply had completely restored, but warned passengers to wait long lines in the ticket offices, control stalls and concessions.
