Global tech outage grounds flights, disrupts industries - but Africa's leading airline soars on

A massive IT outage is wreaking havoc on industries worldwide, causing chaos for air travelers, broadcasters, banks, and healthcare providers. The global tech failure has resulted in flight delays, cancellations, and check-in problems, leaving passengers stranded and frustrated.

According to aviation data from Cirium, around 4,295 flights globally, or 3.9% of all scheduled services, have been cancelled so far today. While the IT outage has caused some flights to be cancelled, this figure also includes those cancelled for other reasons.

However, amidst the chaos, one airline stands tall - Ethiopian Airlines. Africa's leading carrier has announced that it is not experiencing any disruptions to its IT systems and flight operations, thanks to its robust infrastructure and vigilant monitoring.

While other airlines are grounding flights and struggling to cope with the outage, Ethiopian Airlines is flying high, literally. The airline's commitment to reliability and customer service has earned it a reputation as one of the most dependable carriers in the world.

"We are not currently experiencing any disruptions to our IT systems at our headquarters or any impact on our flight operations," Ethiopian Airlines said in a statement. "We are vigilantly monitoring for any potential impacts at all our stations globally and will continue to update our customers accordingly."

As the world struggles to come to terms with the global tech outage, Ethiopian Airlines is flying the flag for Africa, demonstrating the continent's resilience and capability in the face of adversity. The airline's dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction has made it a beacon of hope for passengers seeking reliable and efficient air travel.
