Overview

• Affected hubs include London Heathrow, Brussels and Berlin, with Dublin and Cork reporting minor impact and Frankfurt and Zurich saying they were unaffected.
• RTX’s Collins Aerospace said the disruption is confined to electronic check-in and baggage drop and that airports can mitigate using manual procedures as restoration work continues.
• Brussels Airport asked airlines to cancel about half of Sunday’s departures to prevent excessive queues and late cancellations after significant delays and some diversions on Saturday.
• Aviation data firm Cirium counted 29 cancellations across Heathrow, Brussels and Berlin by late morning, with many more flights delayed as lines built at check-in areas.
• The UK’s NCSC and Germany’s BSI are assisting, and the European Commission says air traffic control and aviation safety were not affected and there is no public attribution or sign of a widespread or severe attack.
