Saudi Arabia's Nas Air announced on Friday that its operations were affected by a technical failure that several airlines worldwide are experiencing, which led to the delay of some flights.

A statement issued by the airline on the X platform read: “Nas Air notes that its operations have been affected by a technical failure experienced by several airlines around the world in one of the technical systems, which has led to the delay of some flights in addition to slow services on the website and mobile application.”

The world woke up today, Friday, to a technical glitch that paralyzed markets, airports and services worldwide. Users of Microsoft services reported widespread internet outages, hours after the technology company announced that it was gradually working to fix a problem affecting access to Microsoft 365 applications and services.

The Microsoft outage is linked to a new update from CrowdStrike,  a cybersecurity software company. This has caused disruptions across a range of sectors, with stock exchanges, airlines and banks being the hardest hit.
