Microsoft Outage Disrupts Indian Airlines' Email Support and Delhi Flight Operations
A global Microsoft service outage on November 12-13 disrupted email support services for Indian airlines IndiGo and Akasa Air, prompting passenger advisories and alternative contact options like IndiGo's AI assistant 6E Skai and Akasa'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 disruption to flight operations or communication channels, with Air India temporarily rerouting emails to maintain service continuity. Passengers were advised to check flight statuses before travel.
