+== Air India Just Discovered a Missing Boeing 737, Forgot They Owned ==
+At the time, taxpayers were responsible for losses, and the outdated processes allowed this lapse to persist.
+Shweta Shukla - November 22, 2025
+GURUGRAM- Air India (AI) identified a missing Boeing 737 at Kolkata Airport (CCU), uncovering an aircraft that had been abandoned for 13 years and overlooked across successive administrative cycles.
+The jet, a 43-year-old Boeing 737-200, remained unnoticed until Kolkata Airport requested its removal.
+The discovery triggered an internal audit that revealed how the aircraft vanished from official records before privatization.
+The case reflects legacy gaps that once shaped the former state-run airline’s asset management practices.

+== Alaska Airlines grounded by mystery IT meltdown ==
+Failure at primary datacenter leaves planes parked and passengers angry, second incident since July

+**Updated** Timing is everything – except when it isn't. US carrier Alaska Airlines has grounded its fleet once again due to a mystery IT issue.
+The problem began at 3:30 pm Pacific Time on October 23 with a "failure" at the company's primary datacenter. Alaska Airlines insisted it wasn't a cybersecurity event or related to "any other events."
+The result? A system-wide ground stop of Alaska and Horizon Air flights, though Hawaiian Airlines (which joined Alaska in 2024) was apparently unaffected.
+"The IT outage has impacted several of our key systems that enable us to run various operations, necessitating the implementation of the ground stop to keep our aircraft in position," Alaska Airlines said. "The safety of our flights was never compromised."
+The ground stop wasn't lifted until 11:30 pm Pacific Time, by which point more than 229 flights had been canceled. The company didn't confirm delay numbers but warned that "additional flight disruptions are likely as we reposition aircraft and crews throughout our network."
+Customers took to social media to express their dissatisfaction with both the airline and its customer service. Some reported being on hold for hours as they attempted to contact the airline to find the fate of their flight, while others found themselves stranded.
