Frustrated passengers reported problems at London Gatwick, Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle in Paris and Reagan Airport in Washington DC. Travellers in Singapore, Zurich, Melbourne and Johannesburg also appeared to be affected on Thursday morning after firms using Amadeus Altea software were hit with issues.

It could very well possibly be caused by the recent solar storms from our favorite star - http://spaceweathernews.com/
I would assume that was the cause. The lesser robust equipment would fail.
Interesting!
have the airlines and airports not learned anything? his past year alone, we have had British Airways, United, Delta and more crash their IOT systems costing them MILLIONS if not BILLIONS in getting back on track and compensation claims.
Cutting corners to save money seems to backfire more often than not and you end up spending far more than you would have ever saved! Not to mention the bad PR............

System upgrades come under capital improvements,is charged against revenue, and adversely affects the bottom line profit figure Wall Street wants to see. Costs for this and other debacles come under a different line item that covers unforeseen and unforeseeable incidents and other acts of dog. It posts as an asterisked footnote.

A simple paper back up system could put a stop to this continuing saga of wasting everyone's time and millions of dollars.
Simply print a list of passengers and their record locator at the airport 12 hours before flight time. If the system crashes, you show up with your name and locator (to prevent the wrong "Jim Smith" from using your ticket) and they hand you a boarding pass.
If there are more seats than names, you sell them to anyone until the list is full.
True you need people at the counter that are smarter than a vegetable, but you'd be surprised what people can do with a little training and the permission to make decisions.
