After European air service providers warned of flight delays and cancellations in the face of disruptions, the aerospace firm has said it has become aware of cyber-related disruptions in the software of the respective airports.
Major European airports, including Brussels, Berlin and London's Heathrow, were reported to have been affected by 'cyber-related disruptions' on Saturday. AFP reported citing the service provider Collins Aerospace that the disruption affected the check-in and baggage drop systems.
After European air service providers warned of flight delays and cancellations in the face of disruptions, the aerospace firm said it was aware of cyber-related disruptions in the software of the airports concerned.
As disruptions are limited to electronic customer check-in and baggage drop, service can be provided through manual check-in operations, Collins Aerospace said.
After being hit by a 'cyber attack' on Friday night, at least 10 flights from Brussels Airport have been canceled and 17 other flights have been delayed, according to the airport .
Manual check-in and boarding services were operated in Brussels and passengers flying on Saturday were advised to check the status of their flights by contacting the airlines before going to the airport.
At London's Heathrow Airport, the check-in and boarding system is also affected by 'technical problems', so the flight may be delayed .
The website of the Berlin airport said that passengers had to wait a long time at check-in in Europe due to the disruption.
