"Major European airports including Brussels, Berlin and London's Heathrow were Saturday hit by "cyber-related disruption" affecting check-in and baggage drop systems and causing delays, airport service provider Collins Aerospace told AFP. "Cyber-related disruption" is affecting check-in and baggage drop systems and causing delays at multiple airports across Europe. "We have become aware of a cyber-related disruption to our MUSE software in select airports," the aerospace firm said, after at least three busy European air hubs reported facing disruption and warned of delays."
""The impact is limited to electronic customer check-in and baggage drop and can be mitigated with manual check-in operations," Collins Aerospace added. The suspected cyber-attack has crashed automated systems, with a "technical issue" affecting software, according to BBC reporting Reports from Belgian channel RTBF suggest that at least nine flights have been canceled so far this morning, where some 35,000 passengers were expected to travel from Brussels on Saturday."
Multiple major European airports, including Brussels, Berlin and London Heathrow, experienced a cyber-related disruption that affected Collins Aerospace's MUSE check-in and baggage-drop software. Automated electronic check-in and bag-drop systems crashed, causing delays, longer waiting times and some flight cancellations. Airlines and airports implemented manual check-in and boarding procedures to mitigate the impact. Belgian reports indicated at least nine cancellations at Brussels and about 35,000 passengers were due to travel there on Saturday. Heathrow and Berlin warned departing passengers of possible delays and advised travelers to verify flight status with airlines before traveling to the airport. The disruption was described as a technical issue by providers.
