The airport did not publish details of the defect. Passengers are encouraged to check before traveling to the airport whether the delay or cancellation does not apply to their flight. A spokesman for the airport told Reuters that they have been dealing with problems since 10:00 a.m. today.
In Germany, the DFS office is in charge of air traffic control. His representative told the Reuters agency that they discovered a nationwide problem in data transmission. He later added that the problem was solved.
