A global technical problem probably in systems used by Microsoft is currently causing chaos in many countries, including in Germany. The causes are not yet clear, but according to German media there is talk of an initial problem at the US cyber security company Crowdstrike, when the Falcon antivirus system used by Microsoft crashed there.

In Germany, since the morning, all flights at Berlin airport have been cancelled, with the most important problems recorded for the following companies: Ryanair, Turkish Airlines, Vueling and Eurowings.

Berlin: Flight cancellations on the first day of the holiday

And all this on the first day of the school holidays in the German capital, in the heart of the tourist season. Corresponding problems, cancellations and flight delays are also recorded at Hamburg airport.

Two clinics in Kiel and Lübeck were also forced to cancel non-urgent operations, trying to ensure at least the smooth operation of emergency rooms. Problems are also present in German supermarkets, banks and media.

Corresponding problems are present today in many other countries, from the USA to Great Britain, even in large international television networks such as NEWS, but also in stock exchanges and other large companies.
