Unions raise alarm over north airport electrical explosions
Two small electrical explosions occurred at the north’s Ercan (Tymbou) airport. One worker received burns on both of his arms while performing unauthorized work on a panel box, and another employee was not injured when a transformer exploded. The airport is still operating on a transient current, posing a serious risk of danger. The airport operator has not completed the installation of the system, and the transfer to a regular current must be done immediately to prevent accidents. The airport had not passed the requisite electrical checks, and the transport minister is responsible for the incidents.
