Tech outage affects passengers at Cherry Capital Airport
TRAVERSE CITY -- Millions of airline passengers, including people flying out of Traverse City’s Cherry Capital Airport were affected by a world-wide internet outage. The outage was experienced by Microsoft and impacted different services, including airlines. Passengers at Cherry Capital were left unable to check in to their flights.
