LINTHICUM, Md. — BWI Airport experienced power outages Monday morning, causing widespread flight delays.
As of noon, power was fully restored.
Outages impacted security checkpoints at terminals A, B, D, and E, along with airline ticketing counters, including Southwest.
Officials warned travelers to double check their airline status, as many inbound flights were diverted.
"Expect long lines at ticket counters, checkpoints and concessions," BWI said in a statement. "It will take some time this afternoon for full, regular operations to resume."
Details of what caused the outage are unclear, although a fire and downed wires nearby shut down Baltimore & Annapolis Road in both directions leading to Park 100 Drive.
This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
