Hours after airlines advised passengers of delays at the Delhi airport due to technical issues on November 7, Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) also issued an advisory to passengers regarding the impact of the disruption.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the official account of the Mumbai airport announced, “Flight operations at the Mumbai airport have been affected by a technical issue affecting the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) at Delhi, which supports Air Traffic Control flight planning. The relevant authorities are actively working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.”
“As a result, airline operations may experience delays. Passengers are advised to contact their respective airlines for updates on flight status and revised flight schedules. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and cooperation,” the statement said.
What is the status of Delhi airport? Main advantages
Among India’s busiest airports, Delhi Airport today reported a technical glitch that affected more than 300 flights, delaying them and stranding thousands of passengers.
Delhi Airport, in a post on X, wrote: “Flight operations at Delhi Airport have been disrupted due to an ongoing technical issue with the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) that supports the air traffic control’s flight planning process. It did not give a timetable for when operations would resume, but assured that the relevant authorities are working to resolve the issue on priority.”
Meanwhile, air operators scrambled to find a solution as the massive chaos began delaying flights at other airports as well. Prominent names like Air India, Akasa Air, Indigo and SpiceJet have issued recommendations in this regard.
Officials are working to fix the AMSS system, which delayed the departures of dozens of flights by more than 30 minutes. Delhi Airport handles thousands of passengers daily.
