Air India software shutdown effect; 137 flights to be delayed on Sunday

India Today  

The five-hour shutdown of Air India's check-in software, which occurred Saturday morning, is still causing its ripple effect as the airline said 137 flights will be running with a delay on Sunday. The average duration of delay -- on these 137 flights of Sunday -- would be of 197 minutes, the airline's spokesperson said. Thousands of passengers had a harrowing time on Saturday morning at airports across the world as Air India's passenger service system software, which looks after check-in, baggage and reservation, did not function from 3.30 am to 8.45 am due to a technical glitch. When asked about its effect on Sunday, he said, "Due to delay in first sector, 137 flights are delayed by 197 minutes."
