Following major disruptions at IGIA on Friday due to a technical malfunction, Delhi Airport authorities have assured passengers that the issue affecting the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) is being resolved and operations are steadily returning to normal.
In an official statement, the airport said: “Please note, the technical problem impacting the AMSS, which supports air traffic control flight planning processes, is gradually improving. Airline operations are stabilising, and all relevant authorities are actively working to minimise inconvenience. Passengers are advised to stay in touch with their airlines for the latest flight updates.”
Impact on Flights
Sources reported that at least 600 flights were delayed on Friday due to the system disruption. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) confirmed that the technical fault was resolved by 9 PM. Similar disturbances were also reported at other major airports across India, including Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
Airline Response
IndiGo, India’s largest airline, urged passengers to check their flight status on the official website and allow extra time to reach the airport. On X (formerly Twitter), the airline stated:
“Airport operators and ATC teams are working on a priority to fully restore systems and stabilise operations. The situation is expected to normalise over the next few hours. During this period, some departure and arrival times may continue to be adjusted. Our on-ground teams are assisting customers with updated schedules, onward connections, and real-time information.”
The airline emphasised that travellers should monitor their flights closely and plan for additional travel time to avoid any complications arising from the temporary disruption.
