Several major European airports are warning of delays and cancellations on Saturday after a “cyberattack” affected check-in and boarding systems.
Brussels Airport said in an update on its website that a “cyberattack” on Friday night had hit a service provider for check-in and boarding systems, “affecting several European airports.”
“This means that at the moment only manual check-in and boarding is possible,” it said.
In a post on X, London’s Heathrow Airport said that service provider Collins Aerospace “is experiencing a technical issue” that could lead to 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 added.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport has also reported “longer waiting times at check-in.”
Collins Aerospace did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
