Departures to the USA from Zurich were canceled on Friday morning due to the worldwide IT breakdown. As a result, flight operations in Zurich-Kloten were still restricted and delayed at midday. No more planes took off for Zurich, but those in the air were still allowed to land.
Check-in for some airlines still had to be carried out manually, Zurich Airport announced at midday. The global service company Swissport had previously confirmed that most of the baggage handling systems in Switzerland were down.
However, the systems of Flughafen Zürich AG relevant to flight operations are running, as the airport assured. They were not affected by the outage due to the IT breakdown.
