A widespread Microsoft Azure outage disrupted airline systems on the morning of October 29, taking down both Alaska Airlines (NYSE: ALK) and its subsidiary Hawaiian Airlines’ websites, limiting functionality for customers across the board. Alaska Airlines called this incident its third major information technology (IT) to affecting their operations. This followed an incident just a few days ago on October 24 that led to over 400 cancellations and affected around 49,000 passengers, and led the airline to actually postpone its third-quarter earnings call.

We know that when an airline places an order with a planemaker, deliveries are almost never instantaneous. Rather, a first delivery is more likely to take place in a few years. There are, of course exceptions to this rule such as picking up a few whitetail aircraft or acquiring from a lessor. Perhaps an equally uncommon exception to the norm is waiting for first delivery for nearly a decade – particularly with a jet that’s certified and in-service: The 737. But, well, that’s the case for Vietnamese airline VietJet. The carrier signed an initial agreement in 2016 and is only now about to get its first 737 MAX jets.
