It has affected operations at several airports across Germany.
Footage showed huge lines of travellers waiting to check in.
Lufthansa confirmed disruption at the group’s airlines globally.
Some planes were boarded using handwritten paper dockets.
“This is causing flight delays and cancellations. We regret the inconvenience this is causing our passengers,” the company tweeted.

It could take several hours to fix.

It said nternational flights are also affected.
