SpiceJet ransomware causes flight delays and cancellations
On May 25, 2022, ransomware affected SpiceJet's IT systems and slowed flight operations across India. The carrier confirmed cascading departure delays and cancellation of some flights to airports with night operating restrictions. Its subsequent annual report explicitly characterized the event as ransomware affecting certain flight operations; the attack also delayed statutory reporting, a separate non-TRACE consequence.
