In response to a global Microsoft Windows system failure that occurred yesterday, the Hong Kong government has declared that its internal systems remain unaffected. However, the incident, which caused disruptions to certain airline operations, has led to heightened concerns and urgency for restoration, stated Chief Secretary for Administration, Eric Chan.

The system outage reportedly impacted check-in processes at various airlines worldwide, intensifying pressures on local and international flight schedules. In light of the situation, Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration Warner Cheuk has been tasked with overseeing the resolution of the issue. The government has engaged directly with Microsoft to expedite recovery efforts and ensure operational continuity.


Early reports from Hong Kong International Airport suggested that despite the global tech hiccup, the airport's check-in counters operated smoothly by 9am. The government has activated emergency response measures aimed at minimizing inconvenience to travelers and maintaining the standard airport operations.


"The government's immediate priority is to mitigate the impact on public services and ensure that all systems return to normal as soon as possible," Chan remarked during a press briefing.

2024年7月20日 - 香港


作為對昨日發生的全球性微軟 Windows 系統故障的回應,香港政府已經表示其內部系統仍然未受影響。然而,這一事件造成了某些航空公司的運營中斷,這引發了人們對系統恢復的更加迫切的關注,行政長官秘書長陳國基如是表示。


據報導,這次系統故障影響了各航空公司的登機作業,加劇了本地和國際航班時間表的壓力。鑑於這一情況,政務司副司長卓華威已被任命負責解決這一問題。政府已直接與微軟公司接洽,以加快恢復工作並確保業務連續性。


來自香港國際機場的早期報告稱,儘管遭受了這場全球性科技故障,但該機場的登機櫃台在9時之前已恢復順利運作。政府已啟動應急響應措施,旨在盡量減少對旅客的不便並維持機場標準運營。


陳國基在新聞發佈會上表示:"政府的當務之急是減輕對公共服務的影響,並確保所有系統盡快恢復正常運轉。"
