Frankfurt: Parts of Frankfurt airport suffered a power outage late on Monday but flights at Germany's busiest hub were not affected, an airport spokesperson told Reuters.
Parts of the airport's Terminal One have had no electricity from around 2100 GMT, or 2300 local time, because of a technical defect at an external substation nearby that technicians are dealing with, the spokesperson added.
All planned take-offs and landings took place before the airport's ban on night flights began from 2300 until 0500 local time.
"The backup power supply has been activated. Even if there were any flights now they would not be affected," said the spokesperson.
