The delays were caused by a fault in the system that automatically transfers flight planning data between air traffic control hubs in Brussels and Vienna.

"Almost 1,000 passengers were stranded at the airport on Sunday due to the disruption."

Airport staff stepped in to manually enter the information in order to keep the system operational.

Although the technical glitch was resolved, 113 flights had to be either cancelled or delayed.
