Hours after flight operations across major airports were affected by a technical glitch at Delhi Airport, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai issued — and later removed — a passenger advisory. The disruption, reported on November 7, was caused by a failure in the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) that supports Air Traffic Control (ATC) flight planning.
In an official post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Mumbai Airport had informed passengers about delays caused by the glitch, stating:
“Flight Operations at Mumbai Airport have been affected by a technical issue impacting the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) at Delhi, which supports Air Traffic Control flight planning. The concerned authorities are actively working to resolve the issue at the earliest.”
The advisory further urged travelers to stay in touch with their respective airlines for updates on flight status and revised schedules. The airport authorities also expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to passengers.
After a few hours, the technical issue was reportedly resolved, and CSMIA withdrew its advisory, confirming that normal operations had resumed. The airport thanked passengers for their patience and cooperation during the temporary disruption.
This incident briefly impacted air travel across multiple routes connected to Delhi, leading to minor delays in both arrivals and departures from Mumbai. Aviation authorities emphasized that flight safety was never compromised and that the disruption was purely operational due to a system-level glitch.
