Cyberattack Chaos: European Airports Hit by Check-in Crisis
A cyberattack on Collins Aerospace has disrupted check-in and boarding systems, affecting major European airports including London's Heathrow. The cyber-related disruption resulted in manual check-in operations, causing delays and cancellations. Efforts are underway to rectify the issue promptly, with passengers advised to confirm flights before heading to the airport.
Major European airports were thrown into disarray this weekend due to a cyberattack targeting check-in and boarding operations. London's Heathrow, the continent's busiest airport, grappled with disruptions, leading to delays and flight cancellations.
The attack hit Collins Aerospace, a provider of technology systems for airlines across the globe. The company's inability to operate automated check-in and baggage drop systems forced airports to revert to manual methods, affecting Brussels and Berlin airports especially.
While Frankfurt and Zurich airports remained unaffected, passengers are urged to check with airlines before travel. Collins Aerospace assures efforts are underway to resolve the technical issue swiftly, aiming to minimize further disruption.
