Lufthansa suffered worldwide computer problems leading to manual check-in during a short time

Share

There were temporary computer problems at Lufthansa on Friday morning from 09:00 UTC. Passengers had to be checked in manually at individual stations with the help of lists, as a spokeswoman reported in Frankfurt. In Hamburg, for example, the handling of several flights was delayed as a result.

The general flight operations were not affected. The airline said a global system failure at a service provider was the cause. However, this was remedied after a quarter of an hour around 09:15 UTC. “All check-in systems are working properly again,” Lufthansa said on Twitter.
