19JUL24- "Microsoft's failure has also affected flights in Ecuador
In the United States, for example, Delta, United and American Airlines flights were grounded early Friday morning.
The Microsoft computer failure , which has brought down airlines and companies around the world, is also affecting flights in Ecuador . Quito airport has reported the cancellation of a United Airlines flight to Houston , while Guayaquil airport reports that an American Airlines plane bound for Miami has been delayed.
As of 7:00 a.m., the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) had not linked these developments to the global crash of Microsoft systems following a faulty update of the CrowdStrike computer security platform.

However, a large portion of flights operated by several major US airlines - including Delta, United and American Airlines - were grounded early Friday morning, July 19, due to the blackout, regardless of their destination.
Quiport SA, the company that manages Quito's airport, added that "due to the complexity of the events," there may be new developments during the day regarding aircraft departures and arrivals.
The company recommended that users contact the airlines to find out about the status of their flights.
In Guayaquil, however, the Windows computer failure did not affect flights to Panama, El Salvador or Colombia . These flights were operated by Avianca and Copa Airlines, and departed normally.
