Heathrow warns of delays as suspected cyber-attack hits European airports | Heathrow airport

After alleged to be a cyber attack, flights at the airports, including Heathrow, were postponed and canceled.

Airports in Brussels and Berlin are experiencing delays and deterioration after the “technical problem an affecting Collins Aerospace, which works for several airlines around the world.

Heathrow said passengers should check their flights before traveling. “Globally, Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding systems for several airports globally, is experiencing a technical problem that may cause delays to leave passengers.

“While working to solve the problem quickly, we recommend that they control their flight status with airlines before traveling to passengers. Please come to three hours before a long -distance flight or two hours before an internal flight.

“In order to help and help to minimize the evening, there are additional colleagues in the check-in areas. We apologize for any discomfort.”

“On Friday, September 19, the Brussels Airport said: There was a cyber attack against the service provider for the check-in and boarding systems that affect various European airports, including Brussels Airport. This means that only Manual Check and boarding are possible.

“The service provider is actively working on the problem and tries to solve the problem as quickly as possible. This has a great impact on the flight program and unfortunately it will cause delays and cancellations of flights.”

The airport advised passengers to check their flight status with airlines and travel to the airport if only their flights were approved.

A statement on the Berlin Airport website said: “Because of a technical problem in a system provider operating throughout Europe, Check-in has longer waiting times. We are working on a fast solution.” Collins Aerospace was approached for a comment.
