SAO PAULO, July 19 (Reuters) - Brazil's government

assured on Friday that its air traffic control was not impacted

by an international cyber outage, although there were some

flight delays, while other firms dealt with disruptions in the

country.

A software update wreaked havoc on computer systems globally

on Friday, grounding flights, forcing some broadcasters off air

and hitting services from banking to healthcare.

Still, those issues "did not affect the country's air

traffic control, only occasionally impacting some airlines'

check-in operations," Transportation Minister Silvio Costa Filho

said on X.

According to him, some occasional flight delays happened,

but no impact had been seen on takeoff and landing operations so

far in Brazil.

Brazilian airline Azul ( AZUL ) said on Friday some of its

flights could suffer delays due to issues with a global

reservation management system.

Brazilian lender Bradesco also said that its digital

platforms were unavailable due to the outage, and that its teams

were working to normalize operations.

Energy providers were also impacted, with some firms

reporting problems with their business and customer service

systems such as call centers and online applications, regulator

agency Aneel said.
