Several Air India flights were delayed late Tuesday due to a third-party system glitch at several airports. The problem affected check-in systems, causing brief delays for passengers.
The incident occurred at multiple airports across the country, including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. According to reports, some flights were delayed by up to an hour while others experienced minor disruptions.
Air India has stated that the issue was resolved after several hours of technical support from the third-party system provider. The airline apologized for any inconvenience caused and assured its passengers that it is taking measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The check-in system glitch is just the latest incident of its kind affecting Indian aviation. In recent months, there have been several instances of airport systems failing due to technical issues or cybersecurity breaches.
Air India has implemented various security measures to protect its systems from such glitches. However, the airline acknowledged that no system is completely immune to errors and that it will continue to work with third-party providers to ensure the smooth operation of its check-in systems.
The incident has highlighted the importance of having robust security measures in place to prevent such disruptions. Air India’s check-in system glitch serves as a reminder that even major airlines can be affected by technical issues, emphasizing the need for vigilance and preparedness.
