I just got this in my email this morning from my employer's travel agent. I can't find anything online, but only did a quick search. I have to get on a conference call here in a sec. Can anyone find anything on this?
Thanks.
Dear Client,
Air passengers are suffering major disruption at airports around the world after computer check-in systems crashed. Problems have been reported at airports including London's Heathrow and Gatwick, Charles de Gaulle in Paris, Zurich, Melbourne, Johannesburg, Changi in Singapore and Washington DC's Reagan Airport. Travelers endured long waits at check-in desks after the outage from about 10.30am on Thursday. The problem has been affecting Amadeus Altea software used by 125 airlines and appeared to also have hit some online check-ins.
Amadeus, the company that provides the software, confirmed it is experiencing a "network issue that is causing disruption". In a statement at shortly after midday, it said: "Technical teams are working on the problem, services are gradually being restored."
Clients flying all over are advised to check the status of their flight(s) prior to departure.
Thanks.
