"Microsoft Azure has been experiencing a global outage since around 1600 UTC, or 0900 PDT on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. The company expects that services will be fully restored by 23:20 UTC, or about 16:20 PDT this afternoon. The outage is occurring somewhat inconveniently as Microsoft reports its FY26 Q1 earnings, during which revenue from Azure and other cloud services grew 40% from a year ago, making it the fastest-growing business segment that Redmond breaks out during its quarterly check-in with investors."
"Alaska Airlines in a statement on its website said that both Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines "are currently experiencing a disruption to key systems, including our websites," due to their reliance on the Microsoft Azure platform. "For our guests who are unable to check-in online due to the Microsoft Azure outage, please see an agent at the airport for a boarding pass, and allow for some extra time in the lobby," the airline said."
