The fully automated metro linking the airport\u2019s main building to Terminal E came to a halt on the 1.1-kilometre route. The airport confirmed a report to this effect by 20 Minuten on Monday. It told Keystone-SDA that a brief power cut had been the cause.<\/p>\n

Passengers were stranded on the train for around 30 minutes. They were then escorted off the Skymetro via the designated evacuation walkway. The passengers were all local travellers with no connecting flights. Transit passengers were not affected.<\/p>\n

The Skymetro was back in full operation around an hour later. The incident had no impact on flight operations.<\/p>\n
