European airports facing disruptions for 4th day

Passengers across Europe are facing another day of flight delays and cancellations following a cyber attack which has impacted software used for check-in and boarding, Euronews writes.

On Friday, many of the largest airports in Europe, including London Heathrow, faced major disruption after the attack targeted Collins Aerospace, the company behind automatic check-in and boarding software.

Airports in Berlin, Brussels and London were hit by disruptions to electronic systems that snarled up check-in and sent airline staffers trying options like handwriting boarding passes or using backup laptops. Many other European airports were unaffected.

Disruption at Berlin and London Heathrow had eased significantly by Sunday, but many airports across Europe are still facing delays and cancellations on Monday.
