Chaos of airports: Technology failure ensures hours of waiting!
A massive IT failure caused significant problems at many German airports on Friday, January 3, 2025. Travel from the non-Schengen area was particularly affected after an automated border control system of the federal police had failed. Travelers were not only affected at Berlin Brandenburg (BER) Airport, but also on large hubs such as Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Munich. The disorder meant that pass controls had to be carried out more manually, which in many cases led to long waiting times and backlog.
like Berlin Live , for example, the passengers had to calculate that the controls would temporarily extend considerably, especially among air travelers from countries such as Turkey and England. At around 5:45 p.m., however, the authorities gave the all -clear and reported that the systems on BER worked normally again. Nevertheless, many passengers were forced throughout the day to plan unforeseen waiting times.
