A cyberattack on Saturday caused major disruptions at several leading European airports, knocking out passenger check-in and baggage systems and forcing dozens of flight cancellations and delays.
The affected airports included London Heathrow, Europe’s busiest hub, along with Brussels and Berlin.
Officials said the outage stemmed from a failure in systems operated by Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of RTX, which confirmed an electronic glitch limited to automated check-in and baggage handling, with manual procedures used as a fallback.
The company has not identified the attackers or the nature of the cyberattack, while teams continue working to restore services as quickly as possible.
