BASSETERRE, ST. Kitts, Feb 10, CMC – The St. Kitts-Nevis Air & Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA) says at no time during a temporary power outage at the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport on Sunday “was the safety or security of passengers, crew or airport operations compromised”.

In a statement, SCASPA said the temporary “disruption resulted from unforeseen technical challenges” and that “swift corrective measures were implemented to restore functionality and minimize inconvenience.

“SCASPA remains steadfast in its commitment to operational resilience and continues to invest in infrastructure enhancements to strengthen the reliability and efficiency of its critical systems.

“The Authority appreciates the patience and understanding of all airport users and remains dedicated to delivering the highest standards of service, safety, and security,” the statement added without indicating the number of flights that had been or not affected by the outage.

Earlier, the St. Kitts Electricity Company Limited confirmed that there had been “an emergency outage” affecting customers in Bird Rock, Frigate Bay and parts of Southeast Peninsula and apologised “for any inconvenience caused by this interruption to electricity supply”.
