The cyberattack targeting Collins Aerospace, a company providing check-in and baggage systems services to airports across Europe, disrupted operations at many major airports, including London's Heathrow, the continent's busiest airport, causing flight delays and cancellations.

The cyberattack on Collins Aerospace, which provides software services to many airlines at airports around the world, disrupted air traffic. A statement from Heathrow Airport in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, said there was a technical problem and that flights from the airport were experiencing delays. A statement from Brussels Airport in Belgium also indicated that the cyberattack had rendered automatic systems inoperable, allowing only manual check-in and boarding procedures. The statement said, "This situation is significantly affecting the flight schedule and will unfortunately lead to delays and cancellations. The service provider is actively working on this issue and is trying to resolve it as soon as possible.“ A statement from Berlin Airport said, ”Due to a technical problem with the system provider, there are longer waiting times for check-in procedures. We are working on a quick solution." Passengers with flights today are advised to confirm their flights with the airline before heading to the airport.

In a statement from RTX, the owner of Collins Aerospace, it was noted that a cyberattack-related outage had been detected in systems at some airports and that efforts were underway to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
