MAJOR UK and European airports have been struck by a cyberattack – forcing airliners to delay and even cancel flights.
The attack reportedly targeted the check-in and boarding systems, disrupting operations at Heathrow, Brussels and Berlin airports.
The attack criplled the automated systems, making them inoperable, according to Brussels Airport.
Authorities are now forced to do manual check-in and boarding procedures, causing massive delays.
“This has a large impact on the flight schedule and will unfortunately cause delays and cancellations of flights,” the operator said in a statement published on its website.
“The service provider is actively working on the issue and trying to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.”
Heathrow also warned of delays caused by “a technical issue” at a third-party supplier.
Passengers with a flight scheduled for Saturday were advised by the affected airports to confirm their travel with airlines before heading to the airport.
“Due to a technical issue at a system provider operating across Europe, there are longer waiting times at check-in. We are working on a quick solution,” Berlin airport said in a banner on its website
