@MissSaigonUK announced Oct. 22 that power was restored at 10 PM and that "fingers crossed we will fly again today."

Curtain up in one minute. Ladies and gentlemen, please put your phones on flight mode and enjoy flying with Saigon. Have an #epic journey.

Please remain calm. Power cut at Prince Edward Theatre and along Old Compton Street. Many attempts to turn on the power.
