A spokesman for Qantas said they are currently working on identifying and fixing the issue while the staff has to manually approve bookings.

“There are delays because it takes longer to check in manually. We are working with Amadeus to rectify the problem and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. The issue is with Amadeus and all airline networks that use this program will be affected in some way,” the spokesman said.

According to the company, 458 airlines across the world use this system for booking and are consequently affected by the downtime. Major airlines, such as Lufthansa, British Airways or Air France are also suffering from this failure.
