Massive queues were witnessed at Mumbai T2 airport on Thursday evening as servers at the terminal went down. As per reports, passengers are waiting for nearly an hour for baggage drop. However, services resumed around 7pm after a 40 min disruption, as reported by news agency ANI.
Central Industrial Security Force DIG Shrikant Kishore informed that the system blackout happened due to damage to the optic fibre cable.
Both Vistara and Akasa Air told Hindusthan Times that airlines were impacted by the outage.
Meanwhile, the Airport authorities notified that the queues were slightly longer than normal times and the situation was perfectly under control.
CISF at Mumbai International Airport said, due to the server down at Mumbai International Airport, the crowd is slightly more than normal. The crowd is being managed well and there is no chaos as manual passes are being issued.
Our passengers are requested to allocate additional time for check-in and also to kindly connect with their respective airlines, owing to a temporary network interruption outside the airport due to on-going development in the city: Mumbai International Airport Stadium
Our teams are present on ground and manual processing has been initiated to facilitate all passengers. We sincerely regret the inconvenience and thank our passengers for their understanding: Mumbai International Airport Stadium
