Outages delay numerous flights out of Buffalo airport
CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WIVB) — Numerous Wednesday morning flights out of the Buffalo Niagara International Airport are delayed due to power outages and the problems resulting from them.
Earlier in the morning, roughly 2,800 outages were reported in the Cheektowaga area, but most of those appear to have been resolved, according to NYSEG and National Grid data.
The Buffalo airport, which is now running on backup generators, is being affected by those outages.
