The outage had been expected to be resolved by early to mid-morning Friday, but JFK Airport tweeted shortly before midnight that the terminal would stay closed for the rest of the day.

"Not really sure what’s going on — no one is aware of the situation, at least that’s what it seems like," said frustrated passenger Anthony Russo, who was hoping to make it to London."I had a lot planned, I was gonna see some friends, and now I don’t know what the hell is happening."
