Airport systems crash across globe, causing chaos

September 28, 2017 23:41

Airline systems around the world broke briefly, causing disruptions in a number of major airports around the world.

The disruptions slowed down some of the world's busiest airports, including London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Zurich, Melbourne, Johannesburg, Changi in Singapore and Reagan National Airport in Washington, according to The Telegraph and the BBC.

The issues -- which appear to be with one of the core systems airlines use to manage their passengers -- now appear to have been resolved, The Independant reports quoting people working at airports.

Heathrow Airport tweeted that a small number of airlines were experiencing problems across the world but that it was "working closely with them to solve the issue."
