In a statement on Saturday, the northwestern airport said: "Munster/Osnabruck Airport was only indirectly affected by the technical malfunction of the external system provider. As a preventive measure, we have redirected our handling systems to our internal IT infrastructure, ensuring a smooth operational process for arrivals and departures."
