Yesterday, we told you about the prolonged power outage at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and as of today, all flight schedules are back to normal.
On Sunday, 100 departing flights were suspended due to a fire. It began when road salt gathered on a utility pole, which caused a fire that disconnected power to the airport.
Monday morning, check-in lines were long, and some passengers left for a closer departure. Nearby airport, Akron-Canton is about an hour away, and reportedly received hundreds of passengers in result of Monday’s delays. By the afternoon, flights were operating close to normal schedule again.
Airlines like Continental use Hopkins as a hub, and allowed customers to rebook flights without penalty.
