"Heathrow airport, the United Kingdom's largest and one of the busiest internationally, said Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding systems for several airlines across multiple airports globally, is experiencing a technical issue that may cause delays for departing passengers. While the provider works to resolve the problem quickly, we advise passengers to check their flight status with their airline before travelling, it said."
"RTX said it was aware of a cyber-related disruption to its software in select airports, without naming them. The impact is limited to electronic customer check-in and baggage drop and can be mitigated with manual check-in operations, the company said in a statement, adding that it was working to fix the issue as quickly as possible. Brussels and Berlin airports separately confirmed they were also affected by the attack, which rendered automated systems inoperable, allowing only manual check-in and boarding procedures."
