It was not a day to ‘roll out’ at the Calgary International Airport on Tuesday.
One-third of the international terminal had power knocked out after a transformer failed — not an optimal scenario for travellers primed to jet away. The airport authority is back to normal operations as airlines try to clear the backlog of travellers, but YYC is investigating what went wrong with the power.
The problems started just before 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, when unusual noises were heard coming from an electrical room. “Upon investigation, we went down to that room about three minutes after the initial report and there was smoke. What had occurred is one of the transformers had failed,” Chris Miles, VP of operations and infrastructure, said Wednesday.Miles said primary power was back up in the terminal about an hour and 20 minutes after going out, with secondary power – going to ancillary offices, retail and other services – coming back at around 4 p.m.
