Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, one of the busiest airports worldwide, witnessed chaos on Friday, i.e., November 7, as a glitch in the AMSS system caused over 300 flight delays. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Airport also issued an official statement, informing the passengers that its air traffic was impacted due to the malfunction.

The glitch occurred in the AMSS system, prompting the Air Traffic Control (ATC) to ditch automation and switch to manual procedures. With airlines issuing rolling advisories, passengers were asked to check revised schedules and adjust their commute time accordingly.

Indira Gandhi International Airport typically manages about 1,500 aircraft movements per day with peak rates near 60-70 per hour.
