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.

To those who choose violence, the law awaits them. To those who act like criminals, they will be treated as criminals.
We continue doing what is our duty: we will be in Pastaza tomorrow, together with those who truly build the country, helping those who need it most to produce more and get ahead." - (1/2)
"While some want to stop Ecuador, we propel it forward.
We will reduce the VAT to 8% during the holidays of October 9, and November 2 and 3, because this country is not going to grind to a halt because of a few who lost the business of smuggling and illegal mining.
To boost the local economy, on November 14 we will pay the thirteenth salary to public employees,
so families will have more money during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We invite the private sector to join this initiative." - (2/2)
