Frankfurt airport faces disruptions due to air traffic system fault

Flights to and from Frankfurt Airport are likely to be delayed or cancelled due to a technical problem with the German traffic control system.

DFS, which operates German air traffic control, has detected a nationwide problem in data transmission, but it appears to be improving, reported Reuters quoting a spokesperson.
The spokesperson added that other airports, including Dusseldorf, could be affected.
In a post on X, the Frankfrut airport requested passengers  to check the status of their flight on their airline’s website before traveling to the airport and allow extra time for your journey.
“Information regarding your flight is available on your airline’s website or by calling 01806-FRAINFO, as well as at http://frankfurt-airport.com,” reads the statement on X.
Operator Fraport said about 70 flights were canceled but didn’t expect many more because the data problem had been resolved, reported AP quoting German news agency dpa reported. 
The country’s biggest airline, Lufthansa, said there were a few cancellations and delays but long-haul services weren’t affected.
