The shocking incident took place yesterday (25 October), as reported by Need To Know.
Passengers arriving at the airport were reportedly stuck in huge queues to reach immigration control following a power surge.
According to a statement released by Stansted Airport, a number of the airport’s systems were ‘temporarily impacted’, as reported by the BBC.
The in-building shuttle service remained ‘out of service’ following the technical issues.
According to reports, these combined issues left some passengers in huge queues for over two hours.
Simon and Jade, who were flying out from the airport, captured the moments when hundreds of eager holidaymakers were stuck in standstill queues.
The pair filmed the mass crowd gathered outside the departures gate as alarms blasted throughout the airport.
Simon said: “This is quite an adventure.
“They have at Stansted Airport; they have technical issues because of a power outage.
“The three alarms that go off at the same time are also not helping your heads.”
The chaos sprawled across other London airports as Gatwick and Heathrow cancelled all their flights as Storm Boelo rages on.
The Standard reported that more than 100 flights were grounded nationwide due to the severe weather.
Jam Press has approached Stansted Airport for a comment.
