Due to a generator/power backup failure, Aruba Airport had to stop the airport and terminal processes and evacuate passengers after the island-wide power outage.

The safety of our passengers, staff, and airport users is the airport’s highest priority. Without power, the airport cannot guarantee a safe airport operation and passenger handling and had to stop all processes.

An investigation and mitigation plan will start immediately to ensure that the airport’s generator/power backup system works well.

Aruba Airport apologizes for the inconveniences caused by this incident and thanks the entire airport community for their immediate assistance and coordination and all passengers for their understanding and cooperation.
