A cut in a fibre cable at an under-construction metro site brought Mumbai airport to a standstill for around two hours on Thursday as it made the server of the country’s second busiest airport non-functional, affecting boarding and check-in process.
A Mumbai airport spokesperson said there was a network interruption resulting from a cable cut during some construction work in the city. “This interrupted the various ticketing systems,” the spokesperson said. “This was a result of ongoing work elsewhere in the city. As per the latest report, the lines are coming back online. Our airport staff are working with the airlines to be able to facilitate and address concerns. All systems were restored and functional by 7:20 pm,” the person said.
