As a result of the global computer outage, KLM had to largely suspend its operations on Friday. “KLM, like other airlines and airports, has also been affected by the global computer failure, which means that it is not possible to handle flights. We realise that this is extremely annoying for our customers, especially in view of the summer holidays,’ KLM said on Friday morning.
“We are working hard to solve the problem. For now, we are forced to largely suspend the operation.’ The problems are caused by software from cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. The company’s automatic update doesn’t seem to be working. As a result, computers cannot be booted and systems crash. The company says it is aware of reports of crashes on Microsoft’s Windows operating systems. (Photo Shutterstock).
