A power outage at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport is delaying flights.

The outage at Terminal 1 was caused by an electrical panel failure, which sparked a small fire last night that was quickly extinguished, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in an emailed statement. It’s impacting both inbound and outbound flights.
