Cyberattack Disrupts Multiple Major European Airports, Cancels Dublin Flights

A recent cyberattack on Collins Aerospace, a service provider for passenger check-in and boarding systems, has caused significant disruptions and delays at several major European airports, including Dublin, Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin. The attack led to flight cancellations and longer wait times, particularly impacting Dublin Airport with at least 13 cancelled flights and ongoing operational challenges. While some airports like Liverpool John Lennon and Zurich were unaffected, the disruption has extended to flights arriving in Egypt, causing minor delays at Cairo International Airport and other Egyptian airports. Authorities across Europe and Egypt are monitoring the situation closely, emphasizing passenger safety and operational readiness. The duration of the restrictions remains uncertain, and no details have been released about the perpetrators of the cyberattack. Passengers are advised to check flight statuses and prepare for possible delays as the service provider works to resolve the technical issues.
