Flight ops too affected at Jammu, Srinagar airports by Microsoft tech glitch

More than 5 flights cancelled delayed at Srinagar

Jammu: Microsoft Tech glitch disrupted the fight operations in both Jammu and Srinagar airports.
The services in both airports were temporarily impacted due to the global IT outage. The carriers later started manual check-in to ensure minimal disruption to passengers and flight schedules.
The disruption for over a couple of hours caused commotion to passengers. The temporary disruption in services left many passengers stranded at both airports. A huge crowd of passengers is visible at both airports. A flyer told that he reached Jammu airport to go to Mumbai but now he is not getting any proper information for his flight here. The passenger had no clue when he will board his flight and he said I am forced to wait here.
Another flyer, a Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrim, said he was not finding the scheduled departure time of his flight. “I have been stuck at Jammu airport for over an hour now. I was to fly to New Delhi with my family and catch a connecting flight to Bengaluru. I don’t know what to do”.
A major disruption in Microsoft Corp.'s cloud services caused widespread flight cancellations and delays across the world, including India, on Friday. The outage forced several airlines, including IndiGo, Akasa Airlines, and SpiceJet, to ground planes and disrupt flight operations.
In the US, Frontier Airlines was significantly impacted as the carrier grounded flights for over two hours due to issues with Microsoft's services. Frontier resumed operations later lifting a nationwide pause on departures. The outage impacted reservations and bookings as well. US' Allegiant Air also faced disruptions as the airline reported issues with reservations and bookings and said that it is working on resolving these problems. Sun Country Airlines Holdings Inc also reported a "global outage".
Windows users across the globe started experiencing the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error which caused the system to suddenly shut down or restart. Microsoft in a message said that the error is being caused due to a recent CrowdStrike update. Microsoft said its outage started with a subset of its customers experiencing issues with multiple Azure services in the Central US region.
