Lufthansa flights cancelled, re-routed after IT outage

Operations to stabilize in the evening

15 February, 17:50
(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).
