Images taken at Palermo airport, in Italy, showed passengers sitting in darkness during a power outage on Saturday (19), following heavy rain in the Sicilian capital.
Reuters was able to independently verify the location with the interior decor matching images of the location. Reuters also confirmed the date with the source file’s original metadata.
A statement published on X by Palermo Airport (Aeroporto di Palermo) said the facility “suffered flooding” in some areas of the terminal and that there were power outages that temporarily halted arrivals and departures. The post said passengers were evacuated from the building before power was restored and flights resumed normally later Saturday night.
