NEW DELHI: Flights are facing serious delays at
Delhi Airport on Friday due to a software issue in the air traffic control (ATC). Sources say the "Aeronautical Message Switching System" (AMSS) has been facing an issue for at leats the last two days that has slowed down flight movements and now delays have got "stacked up".

Their team is actively working with all stakeholders including DIAL to resolve it at the earliest. Passengers are advised to stay in touch with their respective airlines for the latest flight updates. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused.”
The AMSS software processes flight plans submitted by airlines not just for arrivals and departures to and from IGIA, but also for aircraft overflying Delhi airspace.
Flight plans of overflying aircraft are also required to know where a plane is coming from and where is it headed, “The system got over-loaded,” said sources.

IGIA these days handles about 1,550 flights daily and hundreds overfly in the Delhi airspace and the manual workload — which is also immune to errors — can be imagined on the overworked controllers. A team from Electronics Corporation of India Ltd, Hyderabad, has been trying to fix the system for last two days, said sources.
Meanwhile, SpiceJet alerted passengers about possible delays and disruptions in flight operations from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, citing heavy congestion at Air Traffic Control (ATC).
Taking to X, the airline in a statement said, "Due to ATC (Air Traffic Control) congestion at Delhi, all departures/arrivals and their consequential flights might get affected. Passengers are requested to keep a check on their flight status."
