Delta Air Lines has delayed its scheduled noon flight from Lagos to Atlanta, US, due to technical issues.
The operator announced in a statement on Friday that all its flights were temporarily paused as it worked to resolve a vendor technology problem.
Earlier, a massive technical outage struck businesses worldwide, causing disruptions in various sectors, including aviation, finance, healthcare, transportation, and retail.
This outage was caused by a problem with Microsoft’s cloud computing services.
Officials at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos said they were awaiting signals from Atlanta, US, to determine when the flight could depart.
“No signals have been received yet.
“It’s certain that the flight won’t go as planned,” one official, who declined to be named, told The PUNCH.
Delta stated, “Any customers whose flights are impacted will be notified by Delta via the Fly Delta app and text message. Customers should use the Fly Delta app for updates.”
