Summary
- Technical issue with Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) disrupted Delhi Airport operations
- Over 800 flights were delayed due to the AMSS glitch

On November 7, 2025, a technical glitch in the Automatic Message Switching System (AMSS) that supports the Air Traffic Control (ATC) flight planning process severely disrupted operations at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. The issue led to the delay of over 800 flights across several airlines.

In an advisory, Delhi Airport stated that the situation is expected to be normalized over the next few hours.
