Disruption of airport operations reported across Europe, impacting air hubs such as Heathrow and Brussels due to cyber aggressions.
In a surprising turn of events, a cyberattack has caused chaos at several major European airports, with Collins Aerospace, a global provider of check-in and boarding systems, being the apparent target.
The technical issue at Collins Aerospace has made automated systems inoperable, leading to the need for manual check-in and boarding procedures at airports such as London's Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin. This unfortunate incident has resulted in flight delays and cancellations, causing significant disruptions to the flight schedule.
London's Heathrow Airport has warned of potential delays due to the technical issue, while Zurich and Frankfurt Airports, Germany's largest, have not been impacted. Berlin Airport, on the other hand, is actively working on a quick solution to the problem, but passengers are experiencing longer waiting times at check-in.
Berlin Airport is not alone in its struggle. Brussels Airport has also been affected, with the issue causing longer check-in times and flight disruptions. The company responsible for the cyberattack has not been identified, and no further information about its origin or nature has been provided.
Collins Aerospace, a company that provides check-in and boarding systems for airlines across multiple airports globally, is working diligently to resolve the technical issue as quickly as possible. Passengers with a flight scheduled for Saturday at affected airports are advised to confirm their travel with airlines before heading to the airport.
Unfortunately, no information has been provided about the expected duration or resolution of the issue. The parent company of Collins Aerospace was not immediately available for comment.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is clear that this cyberattack has caused significant disruptions to air travel in Europe. Passengers are advised to stay updated and follow the advice of their airlines for the latest information on their flights.
