In a social media post on Nov. 30, the airport said the outage had affected Terminal D and advised all United, Delta, JetBlue, Air Canada, and Alaska Air passengers to check with their airlines before heading to the airport.
"Power was restored to Terminal D at PHL at approximately 1:30 pm. Terminal gates and ticketing computers are operating and concessions are open," City of Philadelphia Department of Aviation Public Affairs Manager Heather Redfern said in a statement.
