In its latest tweet, Spicejet has appealed to its passengers to do their check-in manually at the airport as all the online services have been halted owing to this disruption.
Hundreds of flights have been either canceled or rescheduled due to delays. Along with airlines, banking services, and broadcasting have also faced the impact of Microsoft’s technical glitch. Sky News and other digital and broadcasting channels in the UK too have suffered at the hands of this server trouble.
Spanning from the UK and the US to Israel and Turkey, this glitch has impacted almost all the fields that are server-bound such as the likes of banks in war-affected Israel and Turkey, rail services in Australia, and stock exchange services in London.
Flights at Berlin Airport in Germany and Paris Airport in France have also been halted as the passengers are unable to check-in.
Due to the global IT issue, some of the services at the Delhi Airport were temporarily impacted.
We are closely working with all our stakeholders to minimise the inconvenience to our flyers.
