Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is back up and running at full capacity on Monday morning following an “airport-wide power outage” a day earlier.
The airport’s loss of power started Sunday morning, an FLL spokesperson told the Miami Herald. But by noon, the airport was “operating normally,” Celina Saucedo, aviation chief administrative officer for the Broward County Aviation Department, said in an email.
The impact on operations on Sunday “was minimal,” Saucedo said.
No cause for the outage was provided. No other information about it was provided by FLL
Broward-based Spirit Airlines said that for passengers with tickets for Dec. 14, it would permit changes without additional fees or penalties, if re-bookings are made by Dec. 21.
Spirit accounts for the most passengers at FLL. Through October, 7.6 million travelers came through the Fort Lauderdale airport on Spirit. JetBlue, Delta Air Lines and Southwest are second, third and fourth.
In total, FLL has served 26.3 million passengers through Oct. 31. That’s 10% less than the same period in 2024.
