Anyone flying out of Brisbane Airport this morning is being warned to brace for possible delays, with a major IT glitch causing dramas for travellers.
The Airport has confirmed it is currently experiencing a technical issue with its baggage system, leading to “slower passenger check-in” this morning.
“It is believed an IT issue is causing problems for the baggage handling system,” Brisbane Airport Corporation spokesperson Stephen Beckett said.
Technicians are onsite working on the issue, however, the airport has been forced to revert to manually handling baggage in the meantime.
“We’ve called in extra people, and stood up our CARE Team in the terminal,” Mr Beckett said.
“While we are still able to manually accept checked-in baggage, check-in will be a slower than usual this morning.
“We are working hard to resolve this IT issue so that we can keep any flight delays to a minimum.”
Travellers are being urged to monitor their airline’s website for any possible delays to flights.
