Microsoft outage disrupts flights across India, cancellations reported

A global Microsoft outage has disrupted flight operations in India, with three SpiceJet flights from Delhi cancelled and two delayed on Friday. The software failure affecting Outlook and Teams has raised fears of worsening conditions if unresolved. SpiceJet cancelled Delhi-Pune, Delhi-Leh, and Delhi-Mumbai flights, while Delhi-Darbhanga and another Delhi-Mumbai service were delayed. Air India reported no disruptions and is monitoring the situation, while IndiGo and Akasa Air have advised passengers to check flight status before travelling. Microsoft has acknowledged the global service outage and is investigating the cause without providing detailed explanations. The company is exploring temporary measures to mitigate impact, though the issue has persisted beyond 12 hours, prompting concerns about further travel disruptions.
