Power Restored at BWI Airport After Morning Outage Disrupts Flights

A downed power line caused significant delays and cancellations at Baltimore-Washington International Airport before power was fully restored by noon.

A power outage at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) began at 7:40 a.m. Monday, affecting the main terminal and an adjacent parking garage.
The outage, caused by a downed power line near the airport, led to over 150 flight delays and dozens of cancellations, with some inbound flights diverted.
By 10 a.m., power was being gradually restored, and airlines implemented measures such as using air stairs to deplane passengers.
Full power was restored by noon, but passengers were advised to expect long lines and ongoing delays as airport operations normalized.
Travelers were encouraged to check directly with airlines for the latest flight updates during the disruption.
