Lufthansa Restores Flights After Severed Internet Cable Paralyzed Operations

Lufthansa Restores Flights After Severed Internet Cable Paralyzed Operations:

Update (1126ET):

Germany’s flagship airline carrier Lufthansa plans to return to normal operations by evening. All flights were grounded early Wednesday when construction crews in Frankfurt severed Deutsche Telekom AG broadband cables. This caused a major IT outage with the airline that affected systems, including check-in operations.

According to Bloomberg, a spokesperson for the German airline said operations in Frankfurt are normalizing. They expect systems will be entirely restored by early evening.
