North’s airport grinds to halt after passenger unplugs Wi-Fi router

The north’s Ercan (Tymbou) airport ground to a halt for a short period on Thursday after its internet connection was lost.

Operations resumed shortly afterwards when repair teams figured out that the internet had gone out after a passenger unplugged the airport’s Wi-Fi router to charge their phone.

Today’s hiccough is the latest in a number for the airport’s new terminal, which was plagued by power cuts in its first few days of service after being opened by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier this month.
