What’s inside:
This article provides updates on flight delays caused by a technical issue at Delhi Airport and its impact on operations in Mumbai.
On Friday, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport faced a major technical problem with the AMSS system. This led to delays of over 200 flights, and passengers were left waiting for hours.
The glitch forced air traffic control in Delhi to switch from automated to manual operations. This meant that every flight’s details had to be manually processed, which slowed things down significantly.
Currently, flights at Delhi Airport are delayed by an average of 62 minutes. With around 1,500 flights moving in a day, the backlog has caused delays to extend for several hours. In Mumbai, the airport clarified that operations are normal despite earlier confusion about a similar issue.
Passengers should note that more than 100 flights were directly impacted, with many experiencing multiple changes to their flight timings and gates. Airport officials are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
The Airports Authority of India is actively fixing the AMSS issue and has advised passengers to stay in touch with their airlines for updates. The situation is being closely monitored to return to normal operations soon.
