Internet problems cause flight delays at Kyrgyzstan's Manas Airport

International flights at Kyrgyzstan's Manas Airport experienced significant delays on June 11 due to widespread internet connectivity problems. The disruptions began around 01:00 local time, severely impacting the airport's operations.

The primary issue was the inability to register passengers for flights, a process that was temporarily suspended. Compounding the problem, the backup passenger registration system, RAM, was also inaccessible, preventing a swift transition to alternative procedures. This technical failure led to the postponement of several flights, including those bound for Dubai, Ankara, Istanbul, and Antalya, as well as some domestic routes to Osh.

Airport authorities reported that core systems were partially restored by 02:50, enabling the resumption of passenger registration for specific flights. Notably, Aeroflot's flight to Moscow proceeded without interruption, utilizing the airline's own registration system. By the time of reporting, all information systems and communication channels at Manas Airport were said to be functioning normally. "Airports of Kyrgyzstan" OJSC has issued an apology to passengers for the inconvenience caused.
