Several European airports are experiencing flight delays and cancellations due to a cyber attack on a check-in and boarding systems service provider. The attack has made automated systems unusable, forcing only manual check-in and boarding, says Brussels Airport.
Heathrow and Berlin airports reported that the attack disrupted flights, advising passengers to check with airlines before going to the airport on Saturday.

Heathrow said that Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding systems for multiple airlines globally, is “experiencing a technical issue which may cause delays for departing passengers”.
The airport advised travellers to check their flight status with the airline and said it had deployed extra staff into check-in areas to “help minimise disruption”. Brussels airport said the cyber attack has had a “large impact on the flight schedule and will unfortunately cause delays and cancellations of flights”.
Collins Aerospace said it is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Dublin Airport terminal evacuated over ‘safety’ concern
Dublin Airport’s terminal two has been evacuated as a “safety precaution”, the airport said in a statement. “Passenger and staff safety is our top priority,” it wrote in a post on X. “Anyone at the airport should follow staff to assembly points.
“Flight operations may be temporarily impacted. Please check with your airline for updates. Further info to follow. Thank you for your patience.” The evacuation is not believed to be linked to the cyber attack affecting major European airports today.
But The Independent’s Simon Calder says the issue is “further bad news” on a difficult day. “On a day that was already looking difficult for European aviation, this is further bad news.
“Terminal 2 at Dublin is the hub for Aer Lingus – both for UK flights and onward transatlantic connections.”
