Power failure led to delays at check-in and at US preclearance in Terminal 2 for a period of time
was hit by a power outage on Sunday morning, causing traffic chaos at the airport and delays at check-in and at US pre-clearance in Terminal 2 for a period of time.
In a statement, a spokesperson for DAA said the issue has now been resolved after the outage led to a loss of power in “parts of Terminal 2″. It said the nature of the outage “caused an issue with the airport’s backup generators, which resulted in some delays for passengers checking-in”. Passengers said security in Terminal 2 seemed to be coping well in the aftermath of the power failure with passengers getting through that area in around 16 minutes.
While Ms Ryan remains uncertain about the impact of the power outage on her flight to Philadelphia, and despite “line jumping” from other passengers eager to get ahead, she seemed relieved just to be indoors. A fellow member of her tour group received an alert from Aer Lingus informing him of the power outage. “American never sent anything out,” she said.
