Major European Airports Hit by Cyberattack Causing Flight Chaos
A cyberattack on Collins Aerospace's check-in and boarding systems caused disruption at major European airports, including Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin, leading to delays and cancellations. As manual processes replace automated systems, airlines like Delta Air Lines expect minimal impact. Affected passengers are advised to confirm travel plans.
Flights across several major European airports have been thrown into disarray after a cyberattack targeted Collins Aerospace's check-in and boarding systems on Saturday.
Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin airports were notably affected, with passengers experiencing significant delays and cancellations. The cyber incident disrupted operations of the technology provider, which serves multiple airlines globally.
According to parent company RTX, the issue is confined to electronic check-in and baggage drop, and efforts are underway to resolve it quickly. In the meantime, airlines are resorting to manual procedures to mitigate further disruption.
