I'm unable to say which ... I heard from airport security folks that the IT issues were there since morning, pax were unable to check in to flights and VA ground staff were manually processing pax and that was causing delays.Network wide IT outage or CBR specific?
Update to this.
At 1523, replacement Captain and FA arrived with their gear at Gate 10. They were were warmly welcomed by the pax at Gate 10. There were "whooing", "clapping", "yelling heyyyy" for the replacement Captain & his FA. Pax were genuinely happy to see them. Pax at the shops near Gate 10 also joined in the jeering Although not travelling today (sadly), I joined in the mini-celebrations and I clapped too
At 1525, the previous Captain & FA exited the aircraft and Gate 10. There were no jeering for them sadly! Poor things

Looks like the IT issues still haven't been rectified.Apparently the IT issues since this AM with CBR airport IT (assume with Swisssport) have affected VA, Rex and JQ.
JQ did have delays yesterday. They were handing out vouchers to delayed pax.
I’ll be at CBR today as well. Will ask around … the security folks are usually the first to hear about things …Looks like the IT issues still haven't been rectified.
This morning's CBR departures are delayed citing systems being down or the airport experiencing some 'challenges.'
Only minor issues at VA today. There isn't as big a queue anywhere near the VA counters as yesterday. Only 2 VA flights delayed so far - VA1217 & VA274.I’ll be at CBR today as well. Will ask around … the security folks are usually the first to hear about things …
