Among the affected are Heathrow outside London, one of Europe's absolutely largest and most trafficked airports. 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 system is also said to be used at other countries' airports.

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, which means that passengers can now only check in manually.

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.
