Delays possible after check-in system hit

Heathrow is between several European airports shot by a cyber attack affecting an electronic check-in and a trunk system.

RTX, the owner of Collins Aerospace, said that the system in “Election Airports” is “aware of a cyber deterioration” and is working to solve the problem as quickly as possible.

The company added: “The effect is limited to electronic customer check-in and luggage drop and can be reduced by manual check-in.”

He said that the attack hit the Muse software that allows different airlines to use the same Check -in tables and boarding doors at their airport.
