Flights are delayed as a result of the Crowdstrike update causing Windows servers and desktops to fail.
What percentage is your traffic down?

It’s up compared to yesterday. Of course, yesterday there were thunderstorms rolling through. Today seems comparable to Wednesday. In other words, I don’t notice a dropoff here in Austin (headquarters of Cloudstrike, I think).
In the Netherlands we had around 35-40% less traffic on the starting day of the school holidays.
Even now at 20:30 we still have a lot of delays. 3 out of 5 airports in the Netherlands were impacted, 200 cancelled flights om Amsterdam Schiphol airport (the biggest one in the country).
In total around 300 flights cancelled and at least 750 delayed. Biggest problem was the check-in systems down so it all had to be done manual.
Expectations are that this will slowly be resolved over the upcoming weekend.
Lots of people missed their flights or connections, and most aircraft are already booked to the max due to the start of the holidays.
Beeing in the middle of Germany, the impact to my personal station was almost nothing.
A little less than on a typical friday, but not more than 2-5%
It was reported that only two major airports (Berlin, Hamburg) stopped operations for a few hours in the morning, but others only had delays in arrival due to the missing flights from other airports/countries
UK, didn’t see any real change whatsoever but then I’m only seeing around 1900-2000 aircraft daily anyway.
