Melbourne Airport power down

[underfire]

Looks like a power dip reset everthing and causing delays.

So much for the design of the backup power supply system....

Traffic lights around the airport affected as well.

No alternate required.

Any diversions to ymav?

I think the power problem was within and around some Terminals, not with ATC or runway operations!

That danged backup power system that doesn't operate the traffic lights... what were they thinking?!

The power outage issue was off airport, which affected the main feed to the airport. The local area was all messed up as the traffic lights went down.

Various systems around the airport took time to reboot, affecting check in and security in terminal 3, which apparently they found out, does not have backup power.
