Buffalo Airport experiences delays from emergency fuel system repairs
Key Points:
- Buffalo Niagara International Airport is conducting emergency repairs on its fuel farm's circuit system, which has caused delays for some departing flights needing to divert for refueling.
- The airport confirmed there is no fuel shortage and that delays are currently minimal as crews work to resolve the issue.
- Overnight reports, including an FAA notice, incorrectly suggested the airport was out of fuel and unable to refuel aircraft.
- Jet fuel is supplied to the airport by truck rather than pipeline, reducing the risk of a prolonged fuel supply problem according to industry observers.
- Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest flight information amid ongoing repairs.
