Travel chaos hits IGI as vital network collapses
Hindustan Times
|November 08, 2025
The Capital's airport was plunged into chaos on Friday when the backbone of air traffic communications was paralysed, disrupting close to 65% of all flights and leaving thousands of passengers stranded with delays stretching beyond 12 hours until authorities managed to restore systems late in the evening.
The Airports Authority of India said late on Friday it had restored the Automatic Message Switching System around 9pm, ending what experts described an "unprecedented" 30-hour outage that forced air traffic controllers at Indira Gandhi International Airport to manually process flight plans - a time-consuming procedure that created cascading delays across India's aviation network.
In a statement, AAI said the IP-based AMSS system malfunctioned on Thursday, prompting an emergency review meeting led by the civil aviation secretary. Engineers from Electronics Corporation of India Limited worked alongside AAI personnel to restore operations, though officials warned that backlogs would cause lingering delays.

Remove strays from public places, top court tells states
The Supreme Court on Friday directed all states and Union territories (UTs) to ensure the removal of stray dogs from educational institutions, hospitals, sports complexes, bus depots and railway stations, and ruled that they cannot be released back in the same places after sterilisation, in a move that animal activists said was counter to the amended Animal Birth Control norms of 2023, and which is likely to highlight the huge shortage of shelters that will now be needed to house these animals.
