A cyberattack on the passenger-handling systems of several European airports has caused widespread disruption. Airlines at Brussels, London Heathrow, Berlin's Brandenburg among others saw their check-in and boarding processes disabled, forcing manual operations. Brussels Airport said flight schedules were “largely impacted” as only manual check-in and boarding were possible. Heathrow described the issue as a “technical issue” with a service provider. Berlin airport also cut off connections to affected systems after the service provider was attacked. The provider involved is Collins Aerospace, which offers kiosks for self check-in, printing boarding passes and baggage tags.
