Overview
- Airport officials said Tuesday morning operations were steadier at Berlin-Brandenburg, with no unusual queues reported, though some flights still faced delays and self-service check-in remained the fastest option.
- Teams have been reassigned to clear the accumulated luggage, including assistance from the airport fire brigade, as passenger volumes ease from Monday’s peak.
- ENISA confirmed a ransomware attack on Collins Aerospace’s platform Friday evening that disrupted shared passenger and baggage functions at Berlin, Brussels, Dublin and London-Heathrow, with law enforcement involved and aviation safety unaffected.
- Monday brought the worst disruption at BER, with roughly 70–75% of departures delayed and marathon travelers impacted, including race winner Sabastian Sawe, who missed his return flight.
- Collins Aerospace reported software updates nearing completion and airports signaled extensive testing will precede any reconnection, while airlines and ground staff continued manual workarounds for check-in and baggage handling.
