Power unstable at Terminals 1 and 2 at Honolulu airport

Electrical power was unstable at Terminals 1 and 2 today at Daniel K. Inouye Airport, but did not affect any flights.

The state Department of Transportation announced the situation in a tweet this morning, but noted that takeoffs and landings were not affected. However, TSA operations may be affected.

DOT spokesman Tim Sakahara said in a text late Wednesday afternoon, “Operations were normal throughout the day.”

He did not address the question of TSA operations or whether electrical power was stabilized.

A spokesperson for Hawaiian Electric said the airport’s electrical issues are not due to an interruption in service from the utility.

A DOT spokeswoman said airport staff and an outside contractor were working to repair the lighting.
