The restoration of the systems involved a coordinated effort between the affected airlines, technology service providers, and regulatory authorities. The focus was on rapidly addressing the technical issues and ensuring that all systems were brought back online with minimal further disruption.

In addition to confirming the return to normal operations, the Minister emphasized the importance of strengthening aviation infrastructure and technology to prevent future occurrences. Measures are being put in place to enhance system resilience and improve overall operational stability. This includes investing in advanced technology and implementing robust contingency plans to mitigate the impact of similar disruptions in the future.
