- Airports are unable to accommodate airplanes.
- Corporations are suspending operations.

Key impacts include:

- Spain's airports experienced a "computer system incident," potentially causing delays (reported by operator Aena).
- Berlin Airport reported possible check-in delays due to a technical glitch.
