journey starts - Technical issues cause failures at BER (Brandenburg Airport)
Shortly after the start of school holidays in Berlin, there are extensive disruptions to air traffic at the Berlin BER main airport. "Due to a technical issue, there are delays in processing. Flight operations have been suspended until 10 am," a airport spokesperson said. She provided no details. As reported by RBB, there was a server failure and several emergency systems allegedly activated. However, there was initially no confirmation.
In the large hall of Terminal 1, a dpa reporter reported in the morning, it was very crowded. Long queues formed in front of the check-in counters. Many passengers reportedly felt uncertain. Occasionally, people went through security checks to reach the gates.
It is possible that the events at BER are related to global computer problems that are currently affecting the systems of airlines, but also of media and telecommunications companies. Hamburg Airport was also affected. The background is currently completely unclear.
On the BER airport website, at least a dozen flights are currently marked as cancelled. Several other flights had already completed check-in without starting.
The vacation start for many travelers was disrupted due to the technical issue at BER, the capital airport. This issue led to prolonged travel time for those planning to depart from Schönefeld, another location at the airport. The journey for numerous passengers became an unexpected ordeal.
RBB reported that the root cause was a server failure, along with several emergency systems allegedly activating. However, there was initial uncertainty about the confirmation of these claims.
Air traffic at BER and Hamburg Airport was significantly affected, causing a failure in the usual air transportation schedule. This inconvenience served as an impediment for many vacation plans, leading to disappointment and confusion amidst the bustling airport crowd.
