As a result of the global computer outage, more than 4,200 flights were canceled last Friday. This is reported by the BBC in an update, based on figures from Cirium, a company that analyzes aviation data. Many cancellations are the result of the outage at cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, although there are likely to be flights that have been canceled for other reasons. Initially, the BBC announced that nearly 1,400 flights had been cancelled. According to the website Flightaware.com, 5,171 flights were cancelled on Friday, including 3,403 in the U.S .
