Headline: UNCAPTIONED: European Airports Race to Restore Check-in After Cyberattack Hits Thousands of Passengers
Caption: European airports race to restore check-in after cyberattack hits thousands of passengers. Several of Europe’s biggest airports continued to face disruptions on Monday after a cyberattack crippled automatic check-in systems provided by Collins Aerospace. The attack, confirmed by the EU cybersecurity agency ENISA, has affected dozens of flights and thousands of passengers since Friday. Authorities have launched an investigation but have not disclosed the origin of the cyberattack, which highlighted growing risks to critical infrastructure. Collins Aerospace said it was working with airports including Brussels and London Heathrow and was close to completing system updates. Berlin Airport, already busy due to the marathon, reported long delays with no automated check-in restored, while passengers were issued handwritten boarding passes. Brussels Airport cancelled 60 flights and resorted to checking passengers in via iPads and laptops. Dublin Airport reported only “minimal impact”, using manual processes to keep operations moving. Experts warn ransomware remains the most common form of cyberattack, with one in seven German companies admitting to paying a ransom, according to a Bitkom survey. Recent months have seen a wave of high-profile cyber incidents, including one that forced Jaguar Land Rover to pause production.
