A global outage affecting Microsoft systems is disrupting a wide range of companies across multiple sectors, including airlines, finance, media, and more. According to Downdetector, a service that tracks interruptions, there have been notable spikes in problems on various websites that rely on Microsoft applications since last night, underscoring how interconnected digital services have become and how a single provider can ripple through many industries and everyday operations.
For travelers wondering about flight status, the Infovuelos tool from Aena offers a practical solution. This platform, managed by Aena (Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea), is an essential resource for anyone seeking real-time updates on the status of their flight. It provides timely information that helps passengers determine whether their flight is on schedule, delayed, or subject to a last-minute change, giving clarity in situations that can otherwise feel uncertain.
The service covers flight information from two hours before departure up to fourteen days after the query, reflecting the data window that Aena regards as the most up-to-date and reliable for its operations. This generous range ensures travelers can plan ahead, monitor potential shifts, and respond quickly to any adjustments in their itineraries as new information becomes available.
To obtain specific details about a particular flight and verify whether it is delayed, users must enter certain data on the Infovuelos page. The required fields appear at the top of the site and include:
- Aeropuerto de origen o destino. The user can search for the flight by entering the departure airport or the arrival airport.
- Fecha del vuelo. The date of the scheduled flight.
- Hora del vuelo. The exact scheduled time of departure or arrival.
- Número de vuelo o aerolínea. The unique flight identifier provided by the airline, found on the ticket or boarding pass.
After these details are entered, the Infovuelos page displays all relevant information about the flight, including whether it is delayed, the revised departure or arrival time, and any other issues that could affect the journey. This consolidated view helps travelers stay informed and make timely decisions, whether they are rebooking, adjusting connections, or coordinating with others who rely on the same travel plans.
