Network Outage at Mumbai Airport Causes Flight Delays, Manual Check-In Implemented
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport experienced a temporary network outage on Tuesday evening around 7:05 pm, lasting about 50 minutes. The disruption slowed check-in and boarding processes, prompting staff to switch to manual operations. While the airport operator stated there was no overall impact on flight operations, data showed 327 flights were delayed with an average departure delay of 50 minutes, and 13% of flights were cancelled. The exact link between delays and the outage remains unclear as teams worked to resolve the issue.
