Airlines inch back to normalcy
after Atlanta airport blackout
By DON SCHANCHE JR.
and TOM KRISHER
Associated Press
ATLANTA — The nation’s
air-travel system struggled
to get back on schedule and
re-book stranded passengers
Monday after a fire and
blackout at the world’s busiest
airport forced the cancel-
lation of over 1,500 flights
days before the start of the
Christmas rush.
Travelers sat on the floor,
slumped in chairs or stood in
long lines at ticket counters a
day after the underground blaze
knocked out electricity and
crippled Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport
for about 11 hours.
A spokesman for Delta, by
far the biggest airline at the
airport, said most of its delayed
passengers were booked on
other flights scheduled to leave
Monday. Spokesman Michael
Thomas said the airline should
be “largely if not completely”
back to normal by Tuesday,
well before the huge travel
weekend ahead of Christmas
Day.
But no matter how fast
Delta and other airlines move,
it will take a few days to get
the hundreds of thousands
of grounded passengers to
their final destinations, said
Robert Mann, president of an
airline consulting firm in Port
Washington, New York. In
rare cases, some passengers
won’t arrive until Thursday,
he said.
“There are just so few
seats available during a peak
holiday week, that’s just going
to take a lot of flights with four
or five seats apiece,” Mann
said.
Southwest, the airport’s
second-largest airline, said it
was back on a normal schedule,
but a spokesman could not
say how long it would take to
clear the backlog of stranded
travelers.
American Airlines, which is
much smaller, said that it, too,
booked many of its passengers
on new flights but that some
will have to wait until later in
the week to fly.
The fire broke out Sunday
afternoon next to equipment
for a backup system, causing
that to fail, too. Power wasn’t
fully restored until about
midnight.
The control tower did not
lose power because it has a
separate electrical feed, and
planes that were in the air
and close to Atlanta when the
blackout hit were allowed to
land. Other incoming flights
were diverted, and outgoing
flights were halted.
Anthony Foxx, who was
transportation secretary under
President Barack Obama, was
among many travelers stuck
for hours in a plane on the
tarmac. He blasted airport offi-
cials, saying the problem was
“compounded by confusion
and poor communication.”
“Total and abject failure
here at ATL Airport today,” he
tweeted, adding that there was
“no excuse for lack of work-
able redundant power source.
NONE!”
Georgia Power CEO Paul
Bowers issued an apology and
blamed the fire on a failure in a
switch gear. He said the utility
is considering a change in the
setup of the main and backup
systems to prevent a similar
blackout.
Around noon Monday,
stranded travelers sat on the
floor, charging cellphones
at the electrical outlets. An
Atlanta city employee in a
Santa hat gave out candy.
David and Lynn Carden,
sitting in soft chairs in the
airport’s atrium, left London
early Sunday for Key West,
Florida, but were diverted
to Cincinnati because of the
blackout. Delta got them a
hotel room and put them on
a Monday flight to Atlanta.
From there, they awaited an
afternoon flight to Florida.
