At least 25 flights to and fro Kolkata have been canceled due to the global Microsoft outage till 3 pm, an official said. A spokesperson of the NSCBI Airport here said that at least 14 departures and 11 arrivals from various airlines have been canceled.
The AAI Authorities in Kolkata have issued a passenger advisory on it as well. "As worldwide systems are impacted due to ongoing IT outages, flight operations are disrupted across the country. This may affect travel & flight schedules. Hence passengers are requested to kindly contact concerned Airlines for updates," the AAI authorities said.
Besides, many flights that are operating are delayed because the airlines are issuing boarding passes manually since the automatic system is down. Meanwhile, the outage has affected 90 percent of flights operating from Bengaluru airport's Terminal 1, sources have said. IndiGo Airlines officials said the situation is likely to continue till midnight.
In its first statement after the massive Microsoft outage caused by an update to CrowdStrike 'Falcon Sensor', the security firm's CEO has said the issue has been isolated and a fix has been deployed.
