After a failed CrowdStrike update that took down Microsoft systems worldwide, Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu said that from 3:00 am IST, aviation systems at airports would start functioning normally.
Naidu shared a note on Twitter stating that flight operations were again going smoothly. The note said that even if there was a delay, all issues were expected to be resolved by the afternoon.

The system began to come back online between late July 19 and early July 20.
