IT problems paralyze Dutch coast guard, military, airport
In the Netherlands, an IT glitch affected operations at Eindhoven Airport and a number of government agencies, including the coast guard and military police.
A problem with IT networks in the Netherlands on Wednesday affected the Eindhoven Airport and several public services, including the coast guard and military police.
"Due to problems with IT-networks at the Ministery [sic] of Defense there is no air traffic possible at Eindhoven Airport at this moment," the second largest airport in the Netherlands wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Eindhoven Airport, the Netherlands' second-largest, shares its facilities with the Defense Ministry as a civilian co-user of the Eindhoven military airport.
The Dutch Defense Ministry also reported its disruption on Wednesday, citing an IT problem. "Employees are experiencing login problems and in some cases there is an impact on service provision because telephone numbers are not reachable," the ministry said in a statement.
Eindhoven Airport did not say what caused the problem, but in a statement on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, the airport said there would be no air traffic until at least 17:00 local time (15:00 GMT). Meanwhile, the country's main airport, Schiphol near Amsterdam, appeared to be operating normally.
