Flight operations were disrupted at the international terminal of the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos, on Monday at 1;30pm following continued power outage.
According to reports, the power outage affected international flights.
The General Manager, Public Affairs, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mr Yakubu Dati, confirmed the development in Lagos to journalists.
“There was a power outage from the PHCN and the airport has continued to rely on our independent power supply.
“However, when power was restored, the surge adversely affected the K16 transformer that serves the Air-bridges and rendered them unserviceable.
“This has adversely affected operations of departing flights. The heavy rainfall has further delayed attempts by our electrical engineers to effect repairs immediately,” he said.
However, FAAN had apologised to passengers, airlines and the general public for the inconvenience caused by the development.
