Air travel across several major European hubs has been severely disrupted after what is being described as a cyber-attack on a key service provider responsible for check-in and boarding systems.
The incident, which has impacted airports including London’s Heathrow, Brussels Airport, and Berlin Brandenburg Airport, has led to widespread delays, cancellations, and operational bottlenecks as authorities scramble to restore systems and return flights to schedule. Passenger queues stretched longer than usual, and airport staff struggled to accommodate the sudden operational shift. Flights that were already on tight turnaround schedules faced unavoidable delays, while some departures were canceled outright as airlines prioritized safety and logistical feasibility over punctuality.
