Appears to be a power failure affecting ATC and other operations. Shouldn’t happen. Airport supposedly has a back up power supply that should kick in almost immediately.

I assume that the back-up generator is the diesel engine that is at the side of the brick building on the GA Road (Viscount Drive). I have seen them testing that in the past and it always seemed to a be a bit temperamental sending out cloud of smoke from the exhaust like Indian smoke signals, sorry native Americans smoke signals.

I would like to know how old the diesel generator is in the 27 "B" centre? ie; the brick building by the GA apron, anybody any ideas.

Here is a statement put out on social media about the power outage.
Unfortunately, a power failure is impacting Air Traffic Control and aircraft operations are temporarily suspended.
Passengers, or those meeting flights, should contact their airline for the latest flight information.
Engineers are working to resolve this as soon as possible, with updates to follow.

Looks like three aircraft diverted to Manchester: -
G-EZTM A320 EZY528 from Jersey G-UZLO A20N EZY3492 from Enfidha G-JZHP B73H LS3252 from Palma.
The two EZY’s are or have positioned back, the Jet2 is operating our outbound Funchal flight from Manchester.
Two other EZY’s (Faro and Barcelona) are showing as diverting to Birmingham but they are both running late and still in the air so will presumably revert to their original plan.
