Travellers moving through some of Europe’s busiest airports faced long lines and delays on Friday after a cyberattack disrupted check-in technology used by several hubs. The outage impacted software provided by Collins Aerospace, a major supplier of passenger processing systems, and temporarily forced airports to fall back on manual operations.
At Brussels Airport, staff printed boarding passes by hand while baggage tags had to be written manually. By late morning, the disruption had led to about ten flight cancellations and more than a dozen significant delays. Officials stated that security screening and air traffic control were unaffected, but acknowledged the passenger experience was heavily impacted.
