Manager: Air services not hit in airport blackout
The flight operations at the Penang International Airport were not affected despite a power outage which lasted about 40 minutes.
A netizen took Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to task on social media about the incident which started at 10.35am yesterday.
“Penang International Airport got no electricity? Soo ‘International’ wow..@cmlimguaneng tido lagi ka?” the message read.
In his reply, Lim’s page administrator said the situation was not under the jurisdiction of the state government.
“Unfortunately, neither the airport nor TNB (Tenaga Nasional Bhd) is under the state govern-ment but we will follow up with the Federal departments for you.”
Airport acting manager Hassim Duman said the power outage happened in a few areas at the terminal.
“Power supply was restored in stages from 10.50am onwards and all was back to normal by 11.15am.
“No flight was delayed or cancelled,” he said via WhatsApp.
Penang TNB general manager Zubir Hasshim said: “Our system shows there was no interruption.
“The power failure may have been due to an internal problem.”
