ATLANTA, GA — June 30 was supposed to be the first night of a three-night power shutdown at the domestic terminal at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
However, Hartsfield’s Tim Turner says they have decided to put it off until after Independence Day.
The airport wants to make sure its emergency lighting works well. Turner says it’s all about planning and safety as they don’t want a repeat of a blackout like the one in 2017.
During the upcoming maintenance checks, most of the power will be off.
Workers will be on hand to guide any passengers and lights will be on at two baggage claim areas in both north and south terminals.
