Officials from the National Airports Company Bucharest announced on Friday, July 19, that several flights scheduled to operate from Henri Coand\u0103 Airport in Bucharest have also been affected by the major service outage reported by Microsoft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of the affected flights were headed to Abu Dhabi, Bologna, Tenerife, and Memmingen, and all experienced long delays, News.ro<\/a> reported. Flights to Dortmund, Basel, and Bari were in a similar position. Most were operated by Wizz Air.<\/p>\n

According to Hotnews.ro<\/a>, Eurowings also encountered issues at Otopeni Airport, and so did Ryanair and\u00a0Turkish Airlines.<\/p>\n

In an official statement, Wizz Air urged customers to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before their scheduled flights on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe advise passengers to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before their scheduled departure time to allow sufficient time for check-in, security control, and airport-specific health and safety procedures. We thank you for your understanding as we deal with the effects of the global IT systems outage,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPotential disruptions are expected due to ongoing third-party global IT system outage. Like all airlines today, Wizz Air is facing extreme technical challenges with the outage of 3rd party global IT systems. Wizz Air customers may experience disruptions across the network with website and mobile application services temporarily unavailable,\u201d is added.<\/p>\n

The Irish carrier Ryanair and the Dutch KLM made\u00a0similar requests of their passengers across Europe.<\/p>\n

Wizz Air also said that its website, mobile application, booking system, online check-in system, and display of boarding passes are currently not available. New reservations and changes to existing ones are also not available. Instead, during the outage, free airport check-in is available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Microsoft reported a major service outage of its Microsoft 365 services on Friday, affecting businesses and users worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are investigating an issue affecting users\u2019 ability to access various Microsoft 365 applications and services,\u201d the American multinational announced in a statement released in the morning.<\/p>\n

Airports in Amsterdam, Sydney, and Berlin, as well as airlines such as Delta Airlines, American Airlines, and United, reported severe disruptions to their services on Friday, according to\u00a0News.ro.<\/p>\n

Moreover, due to the outage, the emergency number 911 was unavailable in the United States. In France, journalists from RTL, TF1, and CNEWS reported major technical issues disrupting their broadcasts. Train schedules, hospitals, and other institutions experienced issues in the UK.<\/p>\n

The outage was caused by an update to the antivirus developed by the company CrowdStrike. Businesses were especially affected rather than individuals, as the antivirus is a solution intended for professionals. The company announced that it has corrected its program, and computers that have not been affected will no longer be impacted.<\/p>\n
