Overview

• The passenger and baggage-handling platform is still offline, with BER reporting continuing delays and, by Thursday evening, eight arrivals and seven departures canceled.
• Check-in and baggage are being handled manually as firefighters and ramp staff sort luggage and airlines and ground handlers add personnel and deploy limited in-house systems and laptops.
• Collins Aerospace technicians are on site reimaging infected machines, yet the core fault has not been resolved.
• Brussels, Dublin and London Heathrow also saw disruptions linked to the same vendor systems, while other major German airports were unaffected.
• British authorities arrested a suspect and later released him under conditions, and experts cited in reporting say outdated software and lingering malware complicated recovery as checks for possible data theft continue.
