A cyberattack hit check-in and boarding systems, forcing Brussels, Berlin, and Heathrow to rely on manual processing.
Brussels Faces Flight Chaos After Cyber Incident
The attack targeted the airport’s service provider, not airlines directly.
Brussels canceled nine flights, rerouted four, and delayed 15 by at least an hour.
Officials warned 35,000 departing passengers of potential delays Saturday.
By Sunday, the airport planned to cancel half of all departures to prevent long lines and further disruptions.
Software Provider Reports Cyber-Related Glitch
Collins Aerospace confirmed a cyber disruption affected its global airport software.
The software normally allows passengers to self-check-in, print boarding passes, and create bag tags.
The company has not specified how long it will take to restore full service.
Berlin and Heathrow Manage Without Flight Cuts
Berlin Brandenburg Airport avoided cancellations but warned passengers about longer check-in and boarding times.
London Heathrow reported minimal disruption and no canceled flights.
Officials emphasized the attack exposed vulnerabilities in European airport systems.
