BERLIN, July 19 (Reuters) - Lufthansa

subsidiary Eurowings said that it was affected by a global IT

malfunction, and online check-in was currently not possible.

The airport in the western German city of Dusseldorf said

that it was experiencing disruptions to the check-in and

boarding processes with Eurowings flights, and departures had to

be checked manually.

A spokesperson for Berlin airport, which had said that

flights would resume at 10 am (0800 GMT), would not comment on

whether air traffic had started again.

German air traffic control said that Berlin airport is now

able to handle 20 flights per hour.
