Hundreds of passengers have been hit with delays after a blackout plunged Brisbane Airport into darkness as fog blankets the city.
The blackout began at about 5.20am on Tuesday after a fault with two substations in the domestic terminal caused the entire section of the airport to go dark, triggering delays.
The power outage impacted the check-in area, baggage sorting and the loading of some aircraft, a Brisbane Airport spokesperson told NewsWire.
However, the backup system was able to keep “general lighting” on.
Electricians were on site to begin repairs within about 15 minutes.
“Power was restored at 6.20am,” the spokesperson said.
