In January, the German Federal Police's computer system crashed massively at airports across the country. It was about the system that is used to control entry. It was clarified that it was temporarily impossible to enter Germany from the non-Schengen area.

It was later reported that the problem had been fixed. The failure led to massive delays in border control at several airports in Germany, including the airport of Dusseldorf, Cologne /Bonn, as well as Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt. According to the Izvestia correspondent, passengers from non-Schengen countries stood in queues for hours, and some airports canceled flights.
