Collins Aerospace offers check-in and boarding systems to multiple airlines across multiple airports around the world, experiencing technical issues that could cause delays to depart passengers, London’s Heathrow Airport said it warned of the delay.
Brussels and Berlin airports were also affected by the attack, they said in a separate statement.
RTX, the parent of Collins Aerospace, said it is aware of “cyber-related confusion” over software at certain airports.
The attack caused the automated system to become inoperable, allowing only manual check-in and boarding procedures, Brussels Airport said on its website, adding that the incident occurred Friday night.
Passengers scheduled for Saturday were advised to confirm their travels with the airline before heading to the airport from the affected airport.
Germany’s largest airport, Frankfurt, was not affected, a spokesperson said. Officials at the Operation Control Centre at Zurich Airport also said they were not affected.
