Brussels Halves Monday Departures as Check-In Cyberattack Persists Across Europe

Collins Aerospace says it is finalizing software fixes to restore passenger processing.

Overview

  • Berlin’s BER warned of longer waits on Monday with early queues reported and higher volumes after the marathon, though morning operations showed no initial cancellations.
  • Brussels Airport asked airlines to cancel about 50% of Monday departures as manual check-in continues following Friday’s attack on the shared passenger-processing system.
  • London Heathrow said most flights were operating while work to resolve the check-in issue continued, and Dublin reported 13 Sunday cancellations as it worked through residual disruption.
  • Major German hubs including Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg and Düsseldorf reported normal operations, and Germany’s BSI said air safety was not affected.
  • Collins Aerospace confirmed a cyber-related disruption affecting electronic check-in and baggage drop and said online and self-service options help mitigate the impact while systems are restored.
