It's Jan Smuts to me too (and better than many first world airports), but the then country north of the Limpopo is Rhodesia ...... but not the point. This happened at a so-called first world airport!
Passengers waiting to fly out from xxxxxxxxx Airport were today being warned that it could take several days before flights returned to normal, as engineers battled to restore power.
Thousands of furious travellers were left stranded after Monday night's storm caused a power cut at the busy terminal, with the outage also preventing people from being able to check in their luggage, get a warm drink and even use the toilets, which rely on automatic flushes.
The airport said that normal service would resume today, although the majority of flights were due to depart and carrier xxxxxxxxx warned that it could take 'a couple of days' before the schedule was fully back on track.
Meanwhile, many passengers who had given up waiting amid yesterday's chaos today were battling to retrieve their luggage when their flights were cancelled after they had checked-in and their bags were not returned.
