Air India, on Saturday, said that none of its flights was cancelled due
to the massive CrowdStrike-Microsoft outage, barring some delays due to the
impact of the outage on airport services.
Hundreds of flights including those by Indigo, Air India, SpiceJet and
Akasa Air were delayed and several were cancelled due to the Microsoft Windows
outage.
“We confirm that none of Air India flights on 19 July was cancelled on
account of the worldwide outage of travel systems, though there were some
delays due to the impact of the outage on airport services,” an Air India
spokesperson said.
Air India said that its own “resilient IT infrastructure remained
unaffected yesterday and continues to function as normal.”
At Delhi Airport, more than 400 flights were delayed and over 50 were
cancelled, as per data by flightradar24.
Low-cost carrier IndiGo experienced delays and cancellations of its
flights. It activated ‘war rooms’ at four metro airports to manage operations.
Other airlines, including Akasa and SpiceJet, also reported disruptions
in flight operations.
