Power restored to ORTIA

Power has been restored to OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) following an outage on Thursday night.

“[The] Airport’s electricity supply from the municipality has been restored. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We appreciate your cooperation,” the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) said in a post on social media platform, X, on Friday.

On Thursday night, ACSA reassured passengers that the airport was fully operational and operating on back-up power following a temporary power disruption affecting the Ekurhuleni Metro region in Gauteng.

“The power failure, which occurred at 19:20, was caused by a trip in the municipal grid. The local municipality is currently investigating the cause of the disruption. ACSA is not responsible for identifying the source of the issue, as the power failure lies outside of our control. 

“We would like to emphasise that all critical airport services, including terminals, airfield operations, and cargo handling, continue to operate without disruption. The airport’s backup generators kicked in… ensuring there was no impact on airport operations,” it said on Thursday.

ACSA, which is an entity of the Department of Transport, said that cargo operations were also running smoothly. – SAnews.gov.za
