Tech glitch delays, cancels over 600 flights at Delhi airport

India Nov 09, 2025

A tech glitch hit Delhi airport's Air Traffic Control on Friday, throwing over 600 flights off schedule—some delayed, some canceled.
With the main system down, controllers had to handle flight plans by hand, slowing things down for both domestic and international travelers.
By Saturday afternoon, things were improving as teams worked to fix the issue, but passengers were still told to double-check their flight status.

Controllers had warned about tech failures

Air traffic controllers have previously warned about repeated tech failures at major airports like Delhi.
This latest glitch just proves how risky it is when backup systems aren't in place—especially at such a busy hub.
