Passengers at Kota Kinabalu Airport stranded due to global cyber outage


KOTA KINABALU: Passengers waiting for check-in at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport are faced with difficulties as some airlines including AirAsia are facing system glitches.

This comes following a global cyber outage which struck earlier Friday (July 19).

An official from Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) here confirmed that the airport is not affected but some airlines are.

To mitigate the problem, affected airlines have instructed waiting passengers to remain calm and patient as ground staff try to sort out the issues.

A check on several state agencies such as the Chief Minister’s Office found that there are no system or operational disruptions on its platforms, agencies or departments.
