In a same-day emailed response to MT Newswires, a spokesperson said Zurich Airport's arrival capacity is no longer reduced, and operations have returned to normal in the afternoon. The company ruled out a cyberattack as the cause of the system failure as it continues to investigate the matter.

Subsequent delays cannot be ruled out as the evening progresses," the spokesperson noted.
