7:50 a.m. - OPERATIONS UPDATE ✈️✈️

Last night ROA experienced a power surge and subsequent electrical failure attributed to geese and nearby power lines that has impacted several Airport systems, including passenger jetbridges and flight information displays.

Flights continue to operate and the airlines are using ground boarding.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate the impacts and thank you to all of our hardworking ROA teams working throughout the night and this morning to get systems back online.
