The spokesperson said that crews are working diligently to get everything back to normal. The power outage was caused by a transformer issue. NFTA officials are working with NYSEG to get it back running.

People with flights scheduled for Wednesday morning are encouraged to check with their airline for the status on their flights. In terms of departures, many have been delayed and a few arriving flights have been able to come in.

The power outage began around 3 a.m. Wednesday morning from power difficulties in the area.

"We definitely apologize to the travelers who are out here right now, I know it's frustrating. We are asking people to bear with us right now," Kelly Khatib, a spokesperson with the NFTA, said.

The power came back on at the airport around 9 a.m.
