Computer glitch causes check-in delays at Hong Kong airport


HONG KONG (Reuters): Hundreds of travellers at Hong Kong's international airport faced delays on Thursday (March 16) after computer services broke down, broadcaster TVB reported, with footage showing scores of people stuck in queues with their luggage.

The Airport Authority said it was preparing a statement on the incident but could not immediately verify details. Registration for check-in at several rows in the city's normally efficient airport were shut due to the outage, TVB said.
