Airport delays worldwide

Authorities say passengers at airports across the world have suffered some delays in the past 48 hours because of a problem with checkin systems.

The Spainbased company Amadeus, which provides software to airports, airlines and the tourism industry, confirmed yesterday a network issue caused disruption to some of its systems.

It said its technical teams identified the cause of the problem and services were gradually being restored.

It would not say how many airlines or airports were affected. — AP
