Global Tech Outages Impact Airlines, Banks, and Businesses
Airlines Face Significant Disruptions
Affected airlines include SunCountry Airlines, Allegiant Air, Frontier Airlines, and Spirit Airlines.
Yesterday's widespread software outages caused significant disruptions for airlines around the world, affecting numerous critical functions such as calculating aircraft weight and checking in passengers. This led to flight delays, cancellations, and long queues at airports.
Ultra-low-cost airlines, such as SunCountry Airlines, Allegiant Air, Frontier Airlines, and Spirit Airlines, were particularly hard hit by the outage.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is closely monitoring the situation and has issued a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) to alert pilots about potential hazards and flight restrictions.
Other Industries Impacted
In addition to airlines, other industries were also affected by the tech outages, including banks and businesses.
Air Canada warned travelers to check the status of their flights before going to the airport due to the ongoing disruptions.
