Over 800 flights were delayed, and hundreds of passengers were left stranded at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), one of India's busiest, on Friday due to a significant technical glitch in the air traffic control system.

The Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS), a crucial Air Traffic Control (ATC) network that feeds data into the Auto Track System (ATS), which creates flight plans, broke down, causing the disruption that started late on Thursday.

Later, on Friday, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said that automated operations may experience minor delays due to backlogs, but things will soon return to normal.

In the latest advisory on November 8, Delhi Airport said that the flight operations are ‘gradually improving’.
