Delhi airport immigration server restored after glitch, 8 flights delayed

Immigration servers at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi was restored after a technical glitch which resulted in operations of eight flights being delayed.

Six flights were delayed by half an hour and two by more than an hour after the immigration servers went down.

A long line of passengers was seen at the airport following the incident.

The glitch in the immigration servers comes after Air India servers developed some snag on the wee hours of Saturday resulting in the delay of 137 flights.

"The average duration of delay is of 197 minutes," airline`s spokesperson had said.

Thousands of passengers were left stranded at airports across the world after several Air India flights got affected due to a glitch in SITA server.

The server glitch at 3.30am forced the state-owned carrier to re-schedule 18 flights to reduce the inconvenience of the passengers.

The system was restored after over five hours at 8.45 am.

The technical glitch affected functions like check-in, both at airport counters and web check-in, that delayed flights.
