Saturday, July 20, 2024 Frankfurt Airport recently faced a significant disruption due to an IT outage caused by damage to cables associated with Germany’s rail lines. This incident led to the cancellation and delay of numerous flights, impacting the operations across the Lufthansa Group and other airlines operating from the airport. Consequently, Frankfurt Airport had to temporarily halt its operations.
Similarly, Zurich Airport also experienced operational disruptions due to a systems meltdown, which affected the airport’s capacity significantly during the morning hours. The situation gradually stabilized, but it resulted in several flight cancellations and delays. Both incidents highlight the vulnerability of airport operations to IT and power outages and underscore the importance of robust systems and contingency planning to handle unexpected disruptions effectively.
For travelers, it’s always advisable to check with the airlines and the respective airport’s official communication channels for real-time updates and guidance during such events. ABTA states, “A global IT outage has impacted various businesses around the world, including some in the transportation sector. Not all companies have been affected, but for those that are, the extent of the impact varies significantly from one to another.
If you’re traveling today, we strongly advise that you check with your transport providers to determine if they are affected. For instance, if you’re planning to fly, it’s crucial to verify information from both your airline and airport, as well as your transportation to the airport. Remember, the outage is impacting businesses differently, making it essential to confirm whether your travel arrangements have been disrupted.
Additionally, due to potential delays, travelers should ensure they have essential items such as snacks, medication, baby formula, and nappies in their hand luggage.” This table includes details about the origin, date, scheduled time, arrival terminal, baggage claim area, airline, and codeshare information for both cancelled and delayed flights.
