Crews restored power after an outage affected ticketing, baggage and gates at San Francisco International Airport Tuesday night, airport officials said on Twitter.

"We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as our crews work to resolve the issue," the tweet read.

Some flights to SFO were diverted to San Jose Mineta International Airport, and some were canceled.

Among the people stuck in long lines was the Cunningham family of Menlo Park who had plans to fly to their new home in South Carolina.

"My family is here and they're moving across country tonight. We came to the airport and everything was just shut down and the power was out and fortunately, the power came back on and things are moving but we're at the point where we're close to missing our flight," said Aaron Cunningham of Menlo Park.

The outage was reported around 8:30 p.m. and all power was restored before 10 p.m.
