Several major European airports are warning of delays and cancellations on Saturday following a “cyberattack.”
Brussels Airport said in an update on its website that an attack on Friday night had targeted a service provider for check-in and boarding systems, “affecting several European airports.”
In a post on X, London’s Heathrow Airport wrote that service provider Collins Aerospace “is experiencing a technical issue” that could lead to delays for departing passengers.
Collins Aerospace’s parent company, RTX, said it had “become aware of a cyber-related disruption” to its software in select airports.
“The impact is limited to electronic customer check-in and baggage drop and can be mitigated with manual check-in operations,” it added. “We are actively working to resolve the issue and restore full functionality to our customers as quickly as possible.”
Berlin Brandenburg Airport has also reported longer waiting times at check-in due to a “technical issue at a system provider.”
