A coordinated cyberattack targeting check-in and boarding systems has caused widespread delays across several major European airports, officials confirmed on Saturday.
The disruption affected air traffic operations, leading to long queues and flight rescheduling at key transit hubs. Authorities are working to restore systems and assess the scope of the breach, which impacted passenger processing and airline logistics.
While no safety incidents were reported, the attack underscores growing concerns over aviation cybersecurity and the vulnerability of critical infrastructure. Investigations are underway to identify the source and nature of the intrusion.
Airlines and airport operators have advised travelers to check flight statuses and allow extra time for processing as recovery efforts continue.
