Berlin Airport Operations Still Hampered After Collins Aerospace Cyberattack

Officials say full restoration could still take days.

Overview

  • By midday Sunday, BER had canceled eight arrivals and six departures out of roughly 600 scheduled flights serving about 88,000 passengers.
  • The airport continues manual processing at check-in while self-service kiosks and automated bag drop function for many travelers.
  • A provisional baggage-handling alternative is in operation as Collins teams rebuild compromised systems from scratch.
  • About 20 Collins Aerospace IT specialists are working around the clock on-site, with no precise timeline for full restoration.
  • The attack also affected other European airports, and reports citing ENISA say attackers leveraged known flaws in outdated Oracle GlassFish Server software.
