Kuwait Airways: All systems working normally

Kuwait Airways' systems are working normally round the clock and its communications with passengers, foreign stations and security sectors are going on uninterrupted, said its CEO Ahmad Alkreebani Friday. The Kuwaiti national airline's cybersecurity and information technology teams have immediately taken the required procedures of isolating the affected systems in order to ensure the safety of passengers and aircraft, he said in a press statement. He made the statement in the aftermath of the global IT outage that negatively affected airport services worldwide. Alkareebani underlined that Kuwait Airways is keen on ensuring that its operations are going normally and that its services are uninterrupted. Earlier in the day, Microsoft Corp. announced that there was a glitch in its global public system, which led to technical problems at several airports in the United States and around the world. Microsoft said in a statement that this sudden glitch affected many applications and services, including operating systems such as Windows, disrupting operations in various sectors involving airlines, banks and several media outlets.
