HANOI: Vietjet Air reported that from approximately 11.30am to 2.30pm (Vietnam time) on July 19, a global Microsoft cloud system failure affected booking and online check-in for airlines worldwide.

By 2.30pm, the system was back online, but some airlines were forced to adjust their schedules and others experienced delays because of the earlier problems in the chain.
