Onset of winter and IT disruption cause problems for Lufthansa
The onset of winter at Frankfurt Airport and an IT malfunction have led to problems in Lufthansa's flight operations. There may be delays on Lufthansa flights to and from Frankfurt, and flights may also be canceled, the Group announced on Monday evening. The airline did not initially provide more detailed information on the extent of the delays and flight cancellations or the possible duration and cause of the IT disruption.
Due to the IT disruption, individual customer interfaces were only accessible to a limited extent, the company added. The company is working at full speed to rectify the disruption. "Lufthansa apologizes for the inconvenience," the Group said. Lufthansa recommended that travelers check the company's passenger information website and the website of the airport operator Fraport for information on the current status.
The current weather conditions at Frankfurt Airport, affecting air traffic, might be contributing to the IT disruption experienced by Lufthansa. Despite the challenges, Lufthansa continues to utilize advanced information technology systems to manage and resolve the IT issues affecting their operations.
