Mumbai Airport Has Power Outage; Operations Normal

Mumbai airport, the gateway to India’s financial capital, had a power outage that lasted for about 15 minutes, forcing activation of back-up electricity supply, said Manish Kalghatgi, a spokesman for the airfield.
“Essential services such as lights on the runway and X-ray machines functioned as usual,” he said. The outage affected air-conditioning at the international and domestic terminals briefly, he said by telephone today.
Parts of Mumbai’s western and eastern suburbs and sections of the airport were affected by an outage because of a grid problem, IANS reported, citing unidentified officials.
The cause of the power failure in suburban Mumbai hasn’t been ascertained, Tata Power Co. said in an e-mailed statement today without referring to the airport outage.
