A global Microsoft outage led to chaos at Mumbai airport on Friday morning, the outage led to check-in problems for multiple airlines. The issue is not only limited to Mumbai airport but is affecting airlines and airports globally and other airports in the city. Passengers were left stranded and frustrated. United Airlines, Delta, and American Airlines issued a global ground stop for all aircraft.
Captain G S Rathee told mid-day, “Complete chaos. The servers were down, and after making the passengers wait, they shifted to manual check-in. Almost all flights are delayed. The worst part is that there is no backup for such situations. Simply pathetic.”
