Several Lufthansa flights canceled, delayed due to IT system failure

Several Lufthansa flights have been delayed or cancelled as the group suffered an IT outage recently. An IT system failure has caused disruptions in the airlines' day-to-day operations. As a result, passengers are left stuck at different airports, waiting for flight operations to resume. A Reuters report reveals that photos and videos from airports across Germany showed thousands of passengers who were stranded and waiting to check-in.

Lufthansa airlines announced on Twitter that flight operations have come to a halt due to an IT system failure. The failure was caused due to the construction work going on in Frankfurt, Germany. The airlines also asked domestic passengers in Germany to book train tickets instead and apply for a refund from the airlines.

Lufthansa hasn't revealed when the flights will operate as per their normal schedule. However, they have said that the team was working towards a solution.

"Important information on flight disruption: As of this morning the airlines of the Lufthansa Group are affected by an IT outage, caused by construction work in the Frankfurt region. Unfortunately, this has led to flight delays and cancellations. We are working on a solution swiftly. Until then, we ask all affected guests flying on domestic LH flights in Germany to book a train ticket and request a refund," the tweets read.
