Hackers targeted check-in and boarding software, forcing Brussels, Berlin Brandenburg, and Heathrow airports to operate manually.
Brussels Faces Flight Disruptions
Brussels Airport confirmed the attack hit its service provider, not airlines directly.
Nine flights canceled, four diverted, and 15 delayed over an hour.
Airport warned 35,000 passengers to check flight status before arriving Saturday.
Officials canceled half of Sunday departures to prevent overcrowding and further delays.
Software Provider Reports System Breach
Collins Aerospace acknowledged a “cyber-related disruption” at select airports.
Its software normally lets passengers check in, print boarding passes, and create bag tags.
The company has not specified repair timelines or breach details.
Berlin and London Experience Minor Delays
Berlin Brandenburg cut connections to affected systems, warning of longer check-in times.
London Heathrow reported minimal impact and avoided flight cancellations.
Airports highlighted the ongoing risk of cyberattacks on critical travel systems.
