Major ATC Glitch at Delhi Airport Disrupts Air Travel Nationwide

A critical failure in the Air Traffic Control system at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport caused chaos on Friday, leading to the delay of over 600 flights and a ripple effect across the country. The breakdown of the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) forced controllers to process flight plans manually, drastically slowing operations. The disruption stranded thousands of passengers and is estimated to have caused over ₹100 crore in losses to airlines, highlighting the vulnerability of India's busiest aviation hub.
