Power Outage Grounded Flights at Southern California Airport
A Southern California airport cancelled all flights after a power outage left all its terminals in the dark.
John Wayne Airport in Orange County diverted all arriving flights and cancelled departing flights after the outage hit at around 7:30 p.m. Friday.
The airport’s emergency power kicked in after about a half-hour but flights remained grounded.
The airport was affected by a Southern California Edison power outage that was centered in nearby Irvine and affected more than 28,000 customers. The outage was caused by a fire in an electrical substation.
