Saudi Arabia: Power outage hits King Fahd International airport

A power outage hit an airport in Saudi Arabia's eastern region today, Sabq online newspaper reported.

The King Fahd Dammam airport experienced a temporary power cut that did not affect air traffic at the facility, according to the report.

"Our dear passengers, we apologise to you for the temporary electricity cut,“ Sabq quoted the airport administration as saying. "Electricity has returned to normal. We thank your understanding and cooperation,“ it added without explaining the cause of the outage.

Dammam is the main city in Saudi Eastern Province. On May 31, Saudi Arabia resumed domestic flights after a halt of more than two months due to the global coronavirus pandemic. The kingdom partially restarted international flights last month.
