Air traffic - Eurowings affected by IT disruption
The airline Eurowings is currently affected by an IT issue. Due to the disruptions, delays and cancellations are to be expected during the day, a spokesperson of the company told the German Press Agency.
At present, the check-in and boarding processes at Eurowings are affected. Online check-in is not possible at the moment. Efforts are being made with great intensity to resolve the issue. Passengers are asked to inform themselves about the status of their flights via eurowings.com. The website is still functioning.
The IT issue affecting Eurowings is reportedly due to a problem with their flight stripping system, causing chaos in the air traffic management. This incident is causing significant obstructions in the day schedule of international flights, including those departing from Düsseldorf, a major hub in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Air traffic control in Germany is closely monitoring the situation, hoping for a swift resolution of the technology-related issue, to minimize disruptions in the wider European air traffic. Amidst these challenges, Eurowings is urging its customers to stay updated by checking their flight status on eurowings.com.
Despite the challenges, it's important to note that Eurowings is not the only airline facing such technical difficulties in the realm of air traffic, as complex systems and technology continue to play an instrumental role.
