London, Berlin, Brussels… Several European airports disrupted by a cyberattack
Several major European airports, including Brussels, London Heathrow, and Berlin, were disrupted this Saturday, September 20, due to a cyber incident affecting software supplied by Collins Aerospace, the company said. "We are aware of a cyber disruption to our MUSE software at several airports," the company said, adding that the impact "is limited to electronic customer check-in and baggage drop-off."
On its website, Brussels Airport stated that this "cyberattack" occurred "on Friday evening." "This has had significant consequences for the flight schedule and will unfortunately result in delays and cancellations," it added.
"The situation is not resolved" as of Saturday morning, the airport said, and check-in and boarding must be done manually.
In London, Heathrow Airport, the capital's main international airport, also indicated that it was affected by these disruptions, which "could cause delays to departures." It advised passengers to check the status of their flight with their airline and to arrive well in advance to allow time for check-in formalities.
On its website, Berlin Airport also states that it is affected by this "technical problem at a supplier." Collins Aerospace says it is working to resolve the incident "as quickly as possible."
