Cyberattack Chaos: European Airports Grapple With Prolonged Check-In Disruptions

Brussels Airport said 50 of Sunday's 257 scheduled departures had been cancelled to avoid long queues and last-minute cancellations.

Some of Europe’s busiest airports, including London’s Heathrow, Berlin Brandenburg, and Brussels, are still struggling to restore normal operations after a cyberattack crippled their automated check-in systems.

The attack, which targeted Collins Aerospace’s MUSE software, forced airports to rely on manual workarounds such as handwritten boarding passes and laptop-based check-ins. Passengers faced long queues, delays, and cancellations throughout the weekend, with Brussels Airport cancelling nearly half of its scheduled departures on Monday to ease congestion.

While disruptions eased somewhat at Heathrow and Berlin, Brussels remained heavily affected, with officials warning that full restoration of services depends on Collins Aerospace delivering a secure software update. Aviation data showed delays ranging from moderate in Berlin to significant in Brussels.

The EU’s cybersecurity agency confirmed the incident was a coordinated cyberattack, underscoring the growing vulnerability of critical infrastructure. Investigations are ongoing, but officials have not disclosed the source of the breach.

For now, passengers are being urged to check flight statuses before traveling and prepare for longer wait times as airports continue recovery efforts.
