Meanwhile, the aviation industry faced turbulence as Lufthansa announced the cancellation of 800 flights due to a pilot strike, impacting approximately 100,000 passengers. The airline expects to operate only about one-third of its short-haul schedule and 50% of long-haul routes during this period. The strike has raised concerns among travelers, leaving many scrambling for alternative arrangements.

In a more positive development, Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) is set to experience a historic increase in capacity. In 2026, YQB will offer 376,456 additional seats compared to pre-pandemic levels, representing a 15% increase in capacity over 2025. Stéphane Poirier, CEO of YQB, remarked, “Passengers wanted more destinations, more flights, and more seats. We heard them, and thanks to our excellent relationships with the airlines, that is exactly what they are getting.”

Furthermore, YQB will introduce five more destinations in the summer 2026 season compared to the previous year, enhancing travel options for passengers. Joël Lightbound, a local MP, hailed the increase in seat capacity as excellent news for the region, stating, “The historic increase in seat capacity at the Québec City airport is excellent news for the entire region. It means more tourists, more investment, and more opportunities for our local businesses.”

Samantha McKinley, a tourism representative, added, “This unprecedented number of seats opens up some incredible prospects for the tourism industry. It makes the destination more accessible and allows us to bring in even more visitors and business events while strengthening our position in key markets.”

As the aviation landscape evolves, the contrasting fortunes of Sceye’s successful flight and Lufthansa’s operational challenges highlight the complexities of the industry. The developments underscore the importance of adaptability and innovation in addressing the needs of travelers and the market.

On March 10, Instagram users faced major disruptions, primarily being unable to access direct messages (DMs). This outage resulted in a communication blackout for many, affecting personal and business interactions alike.

According to reports from Downdetector, over 10,000 access complaints were logged, peaking in the early morning hours. Of these complaints, 71% were related to access issues, while 19% pertained to server problems and 5% to feed glitches.

As of 10:03 PM EST on March 10, more than 6,000 users continued to report problems. The breakdown of these complaints indicated that 68% involved app disruptions, 19% were server connection issues, and 7% related to posting troubles.

The outage notably affected major cities including Los Angeles, Phoenix, Chicago, Washington D.C., and New York. Users reported being unable to send or receive DMs, which significantly hampered communication.

Many users turned to alternative platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger during the outage, highlighting the reliance on Instagram’s messaging service for both personal and professional conversations.

Despite the widespread impact, Instagram has not yet provided detailed information about the cause of the outage. The disruptions began during the evening hours on March 10, leaving users frustrated and seeking answers.

One user expressed their frustration, stating, “Around two hours ago, my message page didn’t show any messages at all, even though I have plenty, and I got two notifications earlier.” Another user simply tweeted, “Instagram down I REPEAT INSTAGRAM DOWN.”

Additionally, a user noted, “Are Instagram DMs down or… am I cooked?” while another lamented, “Instagram went down in the middle of 3 different conversations.”

This incident underscores the dependency of users on private messaging for business negotiations and personal relationships. Children averaging over 30 minutes daily on Instagram have shown declining concentration from ages 10-14, further emphasizing the platform’s significant role in daily communication.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact cause of the outage, but the event has raised questions about the resilience of Meta’s infrastructure and the reliability of its messaging services.
