A cyberattack causes delays and cancellations at several European airports.
Heathrow, Brussels and Berlin billing systems are affected
BarcelonaA cyberattack against a European service provider for check-in and boarding systems has disrupted operations at several major European airports, including London Heathrow, Brussels Airport, and Berlin Airport. Delays and cancellations are occurring. El Prat Airport is operating normally, according to sources from Aena.
According to Brussels Airport, the attack has rendered automated systems inoperative, and only manual check-in and boarding procedures can be used. "This has a major impact on flight schedules and will unfortunately lead to flight delays and cancellations," the operator said in a statement on its website. Heathrow also warned of delays caused by "a technical issue" at a third-party provider. "Due to a technical issue at a systems provider operating across Europe, there are longer wait times at check-in. We are working to find a quick solution," Berlin Airport said in an information section on its website.
Although not linked to any cyberattack, there are also incidents at Dallas Airport, one of the largest in the United States. In this case, there was a telecommunications systems failure.
