Air Serbia managed to operate all its scheduled flights yesterday despite significant disruptions in global air traffic, primarily due to software issues affecting various major airports. The airline faced challenges, particularly at airports in Spain, Berlin, Amsterdam and Zurich, which experienced slowdowns and temporary closures.
Delays and operational issues were exacerbated by global technological problems, resulting in additional delays and loss of flight slots, risking further complications for air traffic and crew scheduling. Despite these hurdles, Air Serbia successfully executed all planned flights without cancellations, thanks to effective crisis management and resource organization.
According to aviation analytics firm Cirium, over 5,000 out of 110,000 scheduled flights worldwide were canceled due to these disruptions, equating to one in twenty flights. FlightAware data reported that approximately 42,000 flights, or about 38 percent, were delayed globally.
In Serbia, Air Serbia efficiently handled the situation, maintaining its flight schedule with minimal deviations and redirecting passengers with missed connections to alternative flights. The airline has apologized to passengers for any inconvenience caused by these uncontrollable circumstances.
