Louis Armstrong International Airport is normally a busy place on Mondays -- especially after a busy tourist weekend in New Orleans -- but the scene on Monday was beyond chaotic after a power outage. Airport officials said that outage caused by severe weather resulted in 27 flight cancellations and approximately six delays by several airlines.
Passengers say they were asked to be patient while staff with various airlines worked to fix computers and get them onto their flights.
“We have storms in Louisiana. We have hurricanes, so this is not a hurricane but it was strong enough. We were warned about it,” said Cristina Lawrence traveling, who was starting the first leg of a trip to Europe.
“The biggest airport in the state and the passengers are subject to this? It's just unconscionable,” said John Lawrence.
