Mumbai: Flight operations of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai were briefly disrupted on Saturday because of data network outage that affected check-in systems of the airlines.
The CSMIA and airlines confirmed the technical glitch.
“We would like to inform you that we're currently facing a network failure across the airport. We've activated contingencies and are working on resolving the issue with our core team. We're operating in manual mode to minimize disruptions. We appreciate your patience in this regard. Team CSMIA,” the CSMIA said.
"A third-party data network outage had impacted check-in systems at Mumbai airport, thereby delaying flight departures of airlines, including Air India. The systems have since been restored, however, some of our flights may continue to be affected for some time as the situation normalises progressively,” national carrier Air India said.
