GACL, Ghana’s leading airports company, recently issued a statement on their official Facebook page regarding an incident that occurred at Kotoka International Airport. The company confirmed that there was an interruption in power supply on March 1, 2024, which resulted in inconvenience for passengers at the airport.
According to GACL, the backup generators that are designed to activate within 3-5 seconds of a power outage took longer than usual to kick in during this particular event. Instead of the expected activation time, the generators took approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds to start functioning. This delay in the backup system’s response led to disruption in airport operations and inconvenience to passengers.
Expressing regret for the inconvenience caused, the management of GACL reassured passengers that they are dedicated to providing a seamless travel experience. They emphasized that corrective measures are being implemented to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. The company is committed to ensuring that any power outages at the airport do not adversely impact passenger travel and operations.
In their official statement, GACL stated, “Management of Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) wishes to confirm that Kotoka International Airport experienced intermittent power outages on Friday, 1st March 2024. Our Gentsets, which normally kick-start within 3-5 seconds of an outage, took about 1 minute 30 seconds to kick in. Management of GACL apologizes for the inconvenience caused.”
The incident at Kotoka International Airport highlights the importance of efficient and reliable backup power systems in critical infrastructure such as airports. Ensuring that backup generators activate promptly during power outages is essential to maintaining operations and providing a seamless experience for passengers. GACL’s acknowledgment of the issue and their commitment to improving the backup system demonstrate their dedication to enhancing airport services and minimizing disruptions.
Moving forward, GACL will continue to monitor and enhance their backup power systems to ensure timely activation in case of power outages.
