Kathmandu, Jan 28: The international flights that were affected for two hours this afternoon due to a server down at Immigration Office of Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) have resumed.
Now, the international flights have taken place manually, said General Manager at TIA Premnath Thakur. “The flights are taking place in a usual way manually,” Thakur said.
Earlier today, the outgoing and incoming flights were affected due to the server down.
At present, there are no challenges in landing and takeoff of the aircrafts. He, however, said that the airport is crowded due to some issues in the passengers’ management in the lounges.
With the resumption of the flights, Fly Dubai plane made a landing and Indigo Air flew to New Delhi of India a while ago.
Sources said that an attempted cyber attack on government server has caused panic today, especially the immigration services were affected. Many government sites remained shut down as part of caution.
Nepal Police and other competent authorities have already launched an investigation on this issue.
