The airline Latam has issued a warning to Peruvian users who have flights scheduled in the coming days, informing them that they may experience delays due to the worldwide outage of Microsoft's operating system. This situation, which has caused complications in various parts of the world, has led the company to recommend to its customers to check the status of their flights through a link provided on its official website.


Roció Espinoza, Communications Manager of Lima Airport Partners (LAP), has indicated that so far the outage of the operating system has not had a significant impact on the country, with the cancellation of one flight and reports of delays in another. However, she has warned about the possibility of more inconveniences in the coming hours, urging passengers to stay alert to their communication channels to receive updated information.


The situation has begun to reflect at the Jorge Chavez International Airport, with delays in flights coming from the United States and users experiencing difficulties with the schedules of their planned flights. This issue has extended internationally, especially in the United States, where numerous passengers were forced to cancel their trips due to the inability to board their scheduled flights.


Amid this situation, Congress has approved in a second vote a bill that modifies the law regulating the bankruptcy procedure of football clubs, news that has caught attention in a context marked by the interruption of Microsoft's services and its repercussions in different sectors, including aviation. This legislative decision could have implications in the sports and economic fields, generating debates and analysis in the coming days.


The uncertainty regarding the stability of flights has raised concerns among passengers who have upcoming travels, who are awaiting possible updates from the airline and airport authorities. Latam's recommendation to constantly check the status of flights is a preventive measure against possible additional delays that may arise as a result of the Microsoft operating system failure.


In this scenario, it is expected that the competent authorities and the involved airlines take the necessary measures to minimize the impact on users and ensure the operability of flights as much as possible. Coordination among the different actors in the aeronautical sector becomes crucial in times of crisis like the current one, where technology plays a crucial role in the functioning of services.


In conclusion, the outage of Microsoft's operating system has caused complications in the operation of flights worldwide, also affecting Peruvian users who may experience delays in their travels. The situation continues to be closely monitored by authorities and airlines, while passengers prepare for possible changes in their itineraries.
