Flights delayed and cancelled after cyber attack hits European airports
Flights cancelled across Europe after cyber attack
- A cyberattack on Collins Aerospace, a provider of check-in and boarding systems, caused widespread disruption at several major European airports.
- London's Heathrow, Brussels Airport, and Berlin Airport were significantly affected, leading to flight delays and cancellations on Saturday.
- The 'cyber-related disruption' rendered electronic check-in and baggage drop systems inoperable, necessitating manual processing at the affected airports.
- Brussels Airport reported 10 flight cancellations and an average one-hour delay for all departing flights, causing considerable frustration among passengers.
- While some airlines like EasyJet operated normally and Frankfurt Airport was unaffected, the incident highlighted vulnerabilities in airport technology systems.
