Surat Airport, Delayed Numerous Flights on Blue Friday 19th July 2024


A major IT outage affecting systems globally, including in India, Australia, Germany and other countries was reported on Friday.
  • Widespread outages in Microsoft cloud services have affected several countries
  • Flights grounded, emergency services hit, health sector disrupted
  • Outage hits flight operations, trading and other services in India as well

A massive Microsoft outage unleashed havoc on computer systems across the world, grounding flights and crippling banks, stock exchanges, payment systems and emergency services. Microsoft, in a tweet approximately six hours after the outage was first reported, said that "Multiple services are continuing to see improvements in availability as our mitigation actions progress".

Hours later, Microsoft said that the "underlying cause for a global outage has been fixed", but the residual impact of cybersecurity outages are continuing to affect some Office 365 apps and services.
