Ask HN: Why are no flights taking off from Munich?
The Munich airport is down, and every minute there is an announcement that the whole IT system is down.
EDIT: So the total downtime was ~1h, from 10:45 to 11:45. No idea what the cause was, but I heard the crew saying Amadeus was down.

- mastermedo 4y agoThanks for the link. Maybe it’s only local to Munich airport. O.o?
- mastermedo 4y agoEdited the title to say Munich instead of Europe.
- thorin 4y agoSimilar thing happened at a Heathrow terminal, the day after hundreds of British Airways workers were made redundant / outsourced. Possibly a coincidence!
- garlicrouted 4y agoMaybe someone decided to exploit one of the myriad of security vulerabilities they noticed there the last time they visited... a decade plus ago. (It's gonna be a big suspect list. Good luck to... Scotland Yard or whatever.)
