Imagine being at the airport, ready for your next adventure, and suddenly the lights go out! 🌃 That's exactly what happened at India's busiest airport in New Delhi.
On Monday, a power outage lasting about 7 minutes caused some minor chaos at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. The voltage imbalance from the Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) grid briefly impacted all terminals, affecting baggage check-ins and e-gates. 🛄🚪
But fear not! The airport's backup system kicked in within minutes, and the main power was restored shortly after. Air conditioners stopped working for a bit (talk about a hot situation! 🔥), but they were back on soon, cooling everyone down.
This little hiccup caused some delays at check-in and boarding. Social media was buzzing with photos of passengers waiting in long queues as airline officials waited for their computers to reboot. 📱💻
June is a busy month for travel in India, with schools on summer break. So, the timing couldn't have been more… electrifying! ⚡
India's aviation market is soaring high, with domestic air travel expected to double to 300 million passengers from a record 152 million in 2023. ✈️🌍
So next time you're at the airport, maybe pack some extra patience and a good playlist, just in case! 🎧😉
