NEW YORK -- John F. Kennedy International Airport returned to normal operations Sunday after a fire shut down Terminal 1 for days.

The small fire broke out Thursday morning, causing a power outage.

Airport officials say electrical repairs have been made and regular flight operations have resumed.
