Because of the impacts on both of those terminals, TPA officials said flight operations are limited in both Airsides E and F.
The airport also said some planes are taking longer to deplane as TPA teams work to restore everything to normal operations.
TPA has remained open and is working with TECO to resolve the issue entirely. They said the cause of the outage is under investigation.
Weather conditions locally have caused delays for flights coming in and out of Tampa all day. As of 9:30 p.m., more than 270 flights had been delayed and nine were canceled.
