The outage, which affected several major airlines and led to significant delays and cancellations, posed a considerable challenge to the aviation sector.

The disruption, which began earlier this week, impacted various airline systems including booking, check-in, and flight management platforms. This caused a ripple effect throughout the industry, leading to widespread delays and frustration among passengers. Airlines faced difficulties in processing reservations, managing flight schedules, and coordinating ground operations.

The Civil Aviation Minister assured the public and stakeholders that a comprehensive review and assessment of the outage were conducted to understand its causes and implications. The restoration of the systems involved a coordinated effort between the affected airlines, technology service providers, and regulatory authorities. The focus was on rapidly addressing the technical issues and ensuring that all systems were brought back online with minimal further disruption.

In addition to confirming the return to normal operations, the Minister emphasized the importance of strengthening aviation infrastructure and technology to prevent future occurrences. Measures are being put in place to enhance system resilience and improve overall operational stability. This includes investing in advanced technology and implementing robust contingency plans to mitigate the impact of similar disruptions in the future.
