Power Out In Part Of Sacramento International Airport

 

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Electricians at Sacramento International Airport are trying to find the source of a power outage that's forced the closure of a security screening station at the airport.

Airport spokeswoman Gina Swankie says the outage in a section of Terminal B, one of two terminals at the airport, hit around 5:30 p.m. Friday.

Swankie says departing passengers at the terminal were being directed to another Transportation Security Administration screening station where the power was still on.

The source of the outage has not been determined, and Swankie could not say when the power would be restored.

The outage does not appear to be having a significant impact on airport operations, with the Federal Aviation Air reporting departures at the airport are being delayed by 15 minutes or less.
