Delays and Cancellations at Albuquerque International Sunport

In New Mexico, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, SkyWest Airlines and Southwest have announced flight delays and cancellations after Microsoft reported a cloud service outage was impacting airlines.

Disruptions related to cybersecurity update

The problem was global: hundreds of flights to the US were cancelled on Friday morning.

USA TODAY reported that the cybersecurity update caused disruptions that affected not only flights, but also banking operations, medical facilities and public transportation systems.

“The issue has been identified, isolated, and a fix has been implemented,” CrowdStrike said in a statement published by USA TODAY. The company’s CEO, George Kurtz, apologized for the disruption in an interview with NBC’s Today. Microsoft, meanwhile, said that “the root cause has been resolved,” but that there will be residual effects affecting some of its Microsoft 365 apps and services.
