A few hours after flight services at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport were disrupted due to the server being down, the official Twitter handle of the airport authorities said all systems had been restored.

One of two terminals of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, T2 mostly deals with international flights but is also used for domestic routes.

According to reports, at 7 pm that normal services have resumed after "operations were disturbed for about 40 minutes".

Passengers at the Mumbai international airport faced a tough time in completing the check-in process for their flights on Thursday evening as the internet server at the facility went down due to a damaged cable, forcing airlines to issue boarding passes manually, officials said.

A Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) spokesperson said the disruption in the network was temporary and the internet services at the country's second busiest airport were back to normal.

"There was a network interruption resulting from a cable cut during some construction work in the city. This interrupted the various ticketing systems. All systems are now restored and working," MIAL said in a statement.

As soon as the server went down our staff started issuing boarding passes manually to avert flight delays, said an official of an airline.
