Among the affected are Heathrow outside London, Europe's absolute largest and most trafficked airport. On X, it is written that the system that handles check-in and boarding for several airlines has "technical problems that may imply delays for passengers".
The company providing the system, Collins Aerospace, writes at the same time in a comment that it is about "cyber-related disruptions" but that it is limited to just check-in and boarding and that the consequences have been mitigated by passengers instead checking in manually.
Passengers are now asked to check the situation with their respective airline before departure. Berlin's airport is also said to be affected and in a comment, it is written that it will imply delays around Europe.
Brussels airport is said to have been exposed to a cyberattack already on Friday, 10 departures are said to have been cancelled and 17 more delayed by an hour or more, according to the airport.
Swedavia, which operates several of Sweden's largest airports, states to TT that the attacks just after 10 am have had no impact on Swedish air traffic. Neither Kastrup outside Copenhagen is said to be affected at present, according to Danish TV2.
