The capital’s airport continues to operate. Flights arrive and depart without delays. Airport officials said the facility has its own power grid, meaning the widespread outage did not affect operations.
Meanwhile, Havana remains without electricity. The road to the airport is completely de-energized. Light is only available in houses that are equipped with their own generators.
On Friday, October 18, a massive blackout occurred in Cuba. Authorities said the cause was an accident at one of the power plants.
