"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 Brussels airport spokeswoman said 45 of 257 departing flights had been cancelled and passengers could expect delays of "between 30 and 90 minutes". In Berlin, more than 70 flights had been delayed by midday, although some flights had left on time, The Guardian reported. The airport had a note on its website saying that "due to a systems outage at a service provider, there are longer waiting times. Please use online check-in, self-service check-in and the fast bag drop service"."
