Ask HN: Why are no flights taking off from Munich?

Posted by mastermedo on Friday July 01, 2022 @05:31AM
from the ask-hn dept.

The Munich airport is down, and every minute there is an announcement that the whole IT system is down.

EDIT: So the total downtime was ~1h, from 10:45 to 11:45. No idea what the cause was, but I heard the crew saying Amadeus was down.

Thanks for the link. Maybe it’s only local to Munich airport. O.o?

Edited the title to say Munich instead of Europe.

Similar thing happened at a Heathrow terminal, the day after hundreds of British Airways workers were made redundant / outsourced. Possibly a coincidence!

Maybe someone decided to exploit one of the myriad of security vulerabilities they noticed there the last time they visited... a decade plus ago.

(It's gonna be a big suspect list. Good luck to... Scotland Yard or whatever.)
