Hackers Hit Europe’s Largest Airports, Causing Widespread Delays And Flight Cancellations

Europe’s busiest airports worked to restore operations Sunday after a cyberattack disrupted automatic check-in systems a day earlier, according to CNN. The incident hit systems provider Collins Aerospace, owned by RTX, causing delays and cancellations at Heathrow, Berlin, and Brussels airports. By early Sunday, airport officials reported easing disruptions with some delays still ongoing as regional regulators investigated the hacking incident’s origin. The airport disruption is part of a broader wave of cyberattacks, including breaches that halted production and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. RTX described the event as a “cyber-related disruption” affecting its MUSE software used by multiple airlines.
