Mumbai Airport System Outage Delays 327 Flights as Staff Switch to Manual Processing

A temporary network outage at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport disrupted passenger processing, with 327 flights reported delayed as airport staff switched to manual procedures.

The disruption lasted more than an hour, according to reports citing sources familiar with the incident. Digital check-in and other automated passenger-processing services were affected, requiring staff to rely on manual procedures to keep essential airport services running. Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), the airport operator, confirmed the network disruption but said measures had been implemented to minimise inconvenience and maintain operational continuity. <Cite refs={[“turn980671search0″,”turn980671search3”]}/>

The scale of the reported delays highlights the challenges airports face when digital systems are interrupted during busy operating periods. However, it remains unclear how many of the delays and cancellations recorded that evening were directly attributable to the outage.

The network issue emerged on Tuesday evening, prompting airport personnel and airline staff to shift to manual passenger-processing procedures.
