Attention all travelers! Please be aware that there may be delays at Stansted Airport due to a recent power outage. Photos and videos shared by frustrated passengers depict a chaotic scene as people were forced to wait in long lines and endure significant delays in reaching their flights. The power outage caused disruptions in various airport systems, including baggage handling, check-in, and security. Even though the power issue has been resolved, residual delays may still occur, so it is recommended to give yourself extra time when traveling through this airport.
One passenger took to social media to express their frustration, stating that they had arrived two and a half hours early, but were still at risk of missing their flight due to the long queues caused by the limited number of functioning machines. A spokesperson for Stansted Airport confirmed that the airport had experienced a partial power outage, which affected multiple systems. They also acknowledged the inconvenience and assured passengers that their team was working diligently to restore all systems to full functionality as quickly as possible.
However, they did warn that it may take longer than usual for passengers to pass through the terminal while systems recover. Despite the delays, flights are operating as scheduled, but it is advised to check with your airline for any updates on your specific flight. The airport apologized for the disruption and inconvenience caused to travelers on this day.
It's worth noting that Stansted Airport, located in Essex, northeast of London, is not the only airport in the area experiencing disruptions. Strikes by Border Force officers at Heathrow have also begun on this day, which could lead to potential chaos during the upcoming May bank holiday.
