Major European airports, including Brussels, Berlin, and London’s Heathrow, have experienced widespread flight delays and cancellations due to a cyber-related disruption reported by a third-party provider of check-in and boarding systems. The incident has raised concerns about the security of critical infrastructure and the potential impact on international travel.
The affected airports have issued statements urging passengers to check with their airlines for the latest updates. Airlines and transportation authorities are working to resolve the issue and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. The disruption is believed to have originated from a cyberattack on the third-party provider, which manages critical systems for airport operations.
The situation underscores the growing risk of cyber threats to essential services and highlights the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures in the aviation industry. Authorities are investigating the source of the attack and assessing its potential impact on global travel networks.
