Power outage at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport has canceled several flights as electric crews investigate what caused the ahead of schedule morning failure. Cleveland Airport spokeswoman Jackie Mayo says power went out about 6:50 am Sunday and Continental and US Airways canceled flights until 6 pm
Mayo says the cause of the outage is unknown and crews from Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. were on site trying to figure out what happened.
Mayo says critical areas such as the airfields and the airport tower have power and a backup generator was providing limited lighting in the terminal. The outage at Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C., on Jan. 4 also grounded flights for about an hour.
