Power Outage at Palm Springs Air Traffic Control Tower Causes Morning Flight Delays

Several flights were delayed at Palm Springs International Airport this morning after a power outage struck the air traffic control tower.

The outage led to a temporary ground stop, affecting nine departing flights. The hold has since been lifted, and airport operations have returned to normal. No incoming flights were diverted during the disruption.

Airport officials are urging passengers to check directly with their airline for the most up-to-date flight information, as some schedules may still be experiencing minor adjustments.

The cause of the outage has not yet been disclosed, but air traffic control and airport staff worked quickly to restore full functionality and minimize disruptions for travelers.
