(ANSA-AFP) - FRANKFURT, FEB 15 - German airline giant
Lufthansa said Wednesday it was forced to cancel or delay
flights across its airlines after construction work in Frankfurt
caused a major IT outage. Frankfurt airport, Lufthansa's main
hub, said it had stopped most planes from landing to avoid
overcrowding as thousands of passengers were unable to board
flights. Lufthansa said the IT systems failure had been caused
by construction work in the Frankfurt region that had damaged
broadband fiber-optic cables. "Flight operations are expected to
stabilise in the early evening," it added. (ANSA-AFP).
