"Passengers are facing another day of flight delays across Europe, as big airports continue to grapple with the aftermath of a cyber-attack on the company behind the software used for check-in and boarding. Several of the largest airports in Europe, including London Heathrow, have been trying to restore normal operations over the past few days after an attack on Friday disrupted automatic check-in and boarding software."
"The problem stemmed from Collins Aerospace, a software provider that works with several airlines across the world. The company, which is a subsidiary of the US aerospace and defence company RTX, said on Monday that it was working with four affected airports and airline customers, and was in the final stages of completing the updates needed to restore full functionality."
Major European airports are experiencing flight delays and cancellations after a cyber-attack disabled automatic check-in and boarding software provided by Collins Aerospace. Airports including London Heathrow, Brussels, Dublin and Berlin have been affected, forcing staff to process passengers manually while kiosks and bag-drop machines remain offline. Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of RTX, said it is working with four affected airports and airlines and is finalising updates to restore full functionality. Brussels reported cancellations on Monday, while Heathrow urged passengers to check flight status and recommended arrival times; Dublin warned cancellations remained possible.
