Microsoft Outage Disrupts Indian Airlines' Email Support and Causes Flight Delays
A global Microsoft outage on November 13 disrupted email support services for Indian airlines IndiGo and Akasa Air, prompting advisories for passengers to use alternative contact methods like IndiGo's AI assistant 6E Skai and Akasa Air's helpline. SpiceJet cancelled three flights and delayed two at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport due to operational challenges linked to the outage. Air India and Air India Express reported no impact on flight operations or communication channels, with Air India temporarily rerouting emails to maintain service continuity. Passengers were advised to check flight statuses before travel.
