BER Restores Collins Aerospace System Two Weeks After Cyberattack

Successful security tests clear the way for a staged restart of check-in and boarding systems starting Monday.

Overview

  • The central Collins Aerospace platform at Berlin Brandenburg came back online Sunday morning, according to a BER spokesperson.
  • Airport IT specialists conducted extensive weekend security checks that have so far been successful.
  • Airlines will reconnect to the platform in phases from Monday under a coordinated restart plan.
  • Check-in counters and boarding gates will be brought back step by step, with passenger processing expected to gradually stabilize.
  • The September 19 cyberattack on the service provider disrupted passenger and baggage handling at BER and several other European airports, prompting manual and external-tech workarounds.
