A cyberattack targeting check-in and boarding systems has snarled air traffic and caused delays at some of Europe's top airports, officials said Saturday.

The Brussels airport says the attack means that only manual check-in and boarding was possible there, and the incident was having a large impact on flight schedules.

There was a cyberattack on Friday night September 19 against the service provider for the check-in and boarding systems affecting several European airports including Brussels Airport, it said in a statement.

Authorities at Berlin's Brandenburg Airport said a service provider for passenger handling systems was attacked on Friday evening, prompting airport operators to cut off connections to the systems.

 

London Heathrow Airport, Europe's busiest, said a technical issue affected a service provider for check-in and boarding systems.

Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding systems for several airlines across multiple airports globally, is experiencing a technical issue that may cause delays for departing passengers, Heathrow said in a statement.

The airports advised travellers to check their flight status and apologised for any inconvenience.
