IT Outrage Cancels or Delays Many Lufthansa Flights  

Several Lufthansa flights were delayed or canceled as the group suffered an IT system failure. This technical snag disrupted the airlines’ day-to-day operations. Passengers are stranded at different airports.

Lufthansa airlines announced on Twitter that flight operations have come to a halt due to an IT system failure. The failure was caused due to the construction work going on in Frankfurt, Germany. The airlines also asked domestic passengers in Germany to book train tickets instead and apply for a refund from the airlines.

“Important information on flight disruption: As of this morning the airlines of the Lufthansa Group are affected by an IT outage, caused by construction work in the Frankfurt region. Unfortunately, this has led to flight delays and cancellations. We are working on a solution swiftly. Until then, we ask all affected guests flying on domestic LH flights in Germany to book a train ticket and request a refund,” the tweets read.

Lufthansa didn’t reveal when its flights will resume normal operation again.

Last month, a computer glitch at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) brought thousands of US flights to a halt.
