Cyprus airports are not affected by the technical problems, due to software linked to Microsoft, which has caused major problems for banks, airlines, media and other public services, although airlines say flights may also be affected them because of world problems.
Information from the KYPE states that the airports of Cyprus are not affected by the technical problems presented by several international airlines, due to a software connected to Microsoft.
However, according to the same information, there may be some delays in the arrival of aircraft, not due to problems at Cyprus airports, but due to changes in the flight schedule of airlines in other countries affected by the technical problems.
It is noted that in a statement, the airline company AEGEAN states that "as reflected in international press reports, due to the problems with an antivirus system provider, problems have been created in air transport worldwide, but without significantly affecting our own business operation".
However, it adds "due to the problems that have been caused throughout the global chain and support systems, some services on our site have been affected, and our flights to airports whose operations have been affected may also be affected. Our passengers can be informed from all the company's official channels."
For its part, the Ryanair airline says that "we are currently experiencing network-wide disruption due to a global IT system outage "which is not under our control. We recommend that all passengers arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before their scheduled departure time."
The airline company Wizz Air also issued an announcement asking passengers to go to the airport at least three hours before their flight, noting that "possible disruptions are expected due to the ongoing outage of third-party global information systems".
He further adds that “like all airlines today, Wizz Air is facing extreme technical challenges due to the outage of third-party global information systems. Wizz Air customers may experience network-wide disruptions with website and mobile app services temporarily unavailable."
