BALTIMORE: A power outage at Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall Airport caused significant flight delays and other interruptions to air travel Monday morning.
Airport officials said the outage was impacting areas of the main terminal and an adjacent parking garage. Power was fully restored around noon, officials said in a social media post.
More than 150 flights were delayed and dozens more were canceled earlier in the day, according to a flight tracking website.
Power has been fully restored throughout BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport.
Expect long lines at ticket counters, checkpoints and concessions. It will take some time this afternoon for full, regular operations to resume.

The outage was reported around 7:40 a.m. and caused by a downed power line near the airport, said Stephanie Weaver, a spokesperson for Baltimore Gas and Electric Company. She said crews were on the scene working to restore power.
Airport officials advised passengers to check with their airlines about flight status. They also said some inbound flights were being diverted.
In a social media post shortly before 10 a.m., officials said power was slowly being restored throughout the main terminal. They said some airlines were using air stairs to deplane passengers.
Officials announced around noon that power was fully restored, but they told passengers to expect long lines at ticket counters, checkpoints and concessions.
