The worldwide IT problems are also being felt in Sweden. Above all, travel is being affected.
Several airlines and Swedish airports were severely affected.
SAS had problems with its booking system on Friday morning. Some flights were also delayed.
"SAS expects delays, among other things, because some airports have closed," writes SAS press chief Irena Busic to TT.
At Landvetter Airport outside Gothenburg, hundreds of people, including travelers Joakim Ström and Helena Kivimäki, who were going to fly to Mallorca with Ryan Air, queued.
— The vacation isn't starting well. First, we stood in line for two hours and then we went to have coffee instead. When we came back, the situation was unchanged, says Joakim Ström to Göteborgs-Posten.
Check-in affected
At Arlanda outside Stockholm, check-in caused delays.
"There are currently IT problems causing disruptions to check-in at some airlines on Swedavia's airports, which may lead to some delays," writes Ellen Laurin, acting press chief at Swedavia, to TT.
Swedavia recommends that travelers contact their airline for questions about their journey.
One of those affected at Arlanda was Dominic Diezi, who had been on vacation in Stockholm with his family.
The flight is delayed by twenty minutes, but right now it's not possible to land in Zurich, so we don't know if we can go back today. My kids are not very happy, he says to TV4.
In addition to air travel, trains and other public transportation were also affected. Mälartåg reported problems with the ticket system, as did public transportation in Blekinge, Halland, Södermanland, and Småland.
Mine evacuated
But other parts of society also felt the disruptions. LKAB's mine in Malmberget had to evacuate around 200 people due to the IT problems, reports SVT Norrbotten. Additionally, the ticket system for all Allsvenskan clubs was down during Friday morning.
Neither SOS Alarm nor Inera, which operates 1177, among other things, have noticed any problems.
The problems at Crowdstrike, which caused the global IT disruptions, were identified at lunchtime.
The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency is providing ongoing information about the IT disruption on its website.
