MUMBAI, April 28 (Xinhua) -- Passengers of India's state-owned carrier Air-India continued to witness 137 delayed flights by over three hours for the second consecutive day on Sunday.

The average delay in flights is around 197 minutes, the airline spokesperson said after the airline had 149 flights delayed on Saturday.

The ripple effect of its 5-hour server shutdown on Saturday morning continued on Sunday.

The average number of flights that Air India group, which also includes subsidiaries Alliance Air and Air India Express, flies daily is 674.

The server system SITA (Societe Internationale de Telecommunications Aeronautiques) that crashed had led to huge backlog in flight take-off. SITA is a global airline information technology service, which provides check-in, boarding and baggage tracking technology services.
