<h1>Technical glitch in third-party data network causes major airport flight delays and manual processing for one hour</h1> A technical glitch in a third-party data network disrupted flight operations at a major Indian airport, forcing the operator to switch passenger processing to manual mode for about an hour. The outage affected check-in systems, causing delays in flight departures, including those of a national airline. The airport operator, a joint venture between a private conglomerate and a government authority, did not comment on the incident. Although systems were restored, some flight delays persisted as normal operations gradually resumed. The airport handles over 950 daily flight movements, making the disruption significant for air traffic management.
