The outage lasted approximately 11 hours and 50 minutes, causing financial losses, operational challenges, and reputational damage to airlines and airports. The failure was attributed to human error and lack of modernization of the system. The failure costs included operational disruptions, safety incidents, and regulatory non-compliance, leading to significant expenses for airlines, businesses, and passengers. The impact extended to supply chain disruptions and unexpected expenses for passengers.
