The Hong Kong International Airport has successfully resumed its normal operations, as reported by Chinese state media on Saturday. This development comes after a technical error in a security software update caused significant disruptions and outages in global computer systems for several hours.

The significant IT disruption that occurred on Friday impacted a wide range of industries, including banking and media. Services are gradually being restored following the resolution of the outage.

The airlines’ passenger check-in systems, which were previously impacted by the worldwide outage, have resumed normal operations, as reported by CCTV in a Weibo post, citing Airport Authority Hong Kong.

The airport authority announced on Friday that the affected airlines had transitioned to manual check-in procedures, ensuring that flight operations remained unaffected.

A total of 5,000 out of 110,000 scheduled commercial flights were canceled globally on Friday.
