“Our team detected a decrease in the load on two feeders supplying the international terminal,” General Manager of PLN UID Bali, Eric Rossi Priyo Nugroho, said in a statement on Saturday.
He explained that the Ngurah Rai electricity system is supported by five active feeders designed with high reliability to ensure continuous supply to all areas, including both the domestic and international terminals.
According to the state-owned electricity company, the entire network remains secure with no significant disruptions.
“However, we are still conducting a quick inspection to ensure all supply lines are operating normally,” Nugroho added.
He said that upon receiving reports of a power outage at Ngurah Rai Airport, PLN officers immediately carried out technical coordination with airport management.
“Our team promptly checked and restored the electricity supply. By 9:00 p.m., all electricity in the airport area had returned to normal and is now operating stably,” he conveyed.
He added that PLN continues to strengthen coordination with the airport management to maintain the reliability of the electricity system in this strategic area. As a nationally vital facility, the airport is a crucial hub for Bali’s economy and tourism, requiring a guaranteed uninterrupted power supply.
Meanwhile, the General Manager of I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Ahmad Syaugi Shahab, apologized for the power outage incident.
During the outage, airport management made several service adjustments, including implementing manual check-ins.
Additional measures were taken by deploying dedicated staff in waiting areas to guide passengers to the boarding gates.
Shahab acknowledged that the incident had affected flight operations, but said the airport is still calculating the total number of departing and arriving flights impacted by the power outage.
