Overview
- Collins Aerospace confirmed an interruption linked to a cyber attack on its MUSE platform, limiting impact to electronic check-in and bag drop as airports switched to manual processing.
- Operations at Brussels, London Heathrow, Berlin Brandenburg and Dublin experienced cancellations and significant delays after passenger processing systems went offline.
- Eurocontrol instructed airlines to cancel about half of scheduled departures from Brussels for a defined window that was extended into early Monday to contain knock-on disruption.
- The European Commission said current indications do not point to a widespread or severe attack, with flight safety and air traffic control unaffected as EU bodies worked to restore services.
- Attribution remains unresolved as investigations continue, with Italy’s cyber police reporting no significant impact on domestic airports but maintaining a high alert posture.
