"European airports were starting to recover on Sunday from a cyberattack affecting their check-in systems that has caused flight cancellations and huge delays for thousands of passengers over the past two days. While Brussels airport said almost one-fifth of Sunday's scheduled departures had been cancelled, other affected hubs said their schedules were getting back to normal. London Heathrow and Dublin airports said they were managing passenger flows while they tried to fix the problem with the software."
"Dublin airport said it expected to function normally throughout Sunday. Its "team is continuing to support airlines today as they deal with the ongoing disruption caused by a Europe-wide technical issue that is impacting on their check-in and boarding systems," it said in a post on X. Heathrow Airport said in a statement the "vast majority of flights" continued to be operated thanks to collaboration with the airlines."
A Europe-wide cyberattack on airline check-in systems disrupted operations across major airports, causing flight cancellations and long delays for thousands of passengers over two days. Brussels Airport cancelled 45 of 257 departing flights and warned of 30–90 minute delays. Berlin experienced over 70 delays by midday, with some flights departing on time, and advised use of online and self-service check-in plus fast bag drop. Dublin expected normal operations on Sunday while supporting airlines dealing with the technical issue. Heathrow said the vast majority of flights continued to operate through collaboration with airlines. Smaller airports redirected systems to internal IT as a preventative measure.
