As a result, passengers had to check in manually, which in turn led to longer waiting times. Zurich Airport recommended that passengers be at the airport three hours before departure.
The system has been operational again since 10:30 a.m., explains media spokeswoman Nathalie Berchtold from Swissport. It is hoped that the system will be back to normal in the course of the afternoon. “It’s still going a little slow at the moment.” The reasons for the failure are not yet known.
“The queues at check-in at the airport are slowly disappearing.” Normal operations are expected to resume in a few hours. Some flights were slightly delayed, but the breakdown did not have a major impact.
