Brussels Airport cancels approximately 140 flights amid repercussions of electronic attacks throughout Europe

The repercussions extended from the electronic attack that disrupted the check-in systems in many European airports to a second day on Sunday, as the passengers faced dozens of flights that were canceled and delayed-and the effect that is preparing to exacerbate at least one main airport.

The Brussels Airport, apparently the most difficult blow, said it had asked airlines to cancel nearly 140 departure flights scheduled for Monday because the US software provider in the United States “has not yet been able to submit a new safe version of the check -in system.” The airport said that 25 flights issued on Saturday and 50 on Sunday were canceled.

Starting on Friday, airports in Berlin, Brussels and London were exposed to disturbances on electronic systems that gathered in the check -in process and sent aviation employees who are trying to options such as climbing passes to hands or using backup laptops. Many other European airports were not affected.

The electronic attack on the Collins Aerospace program, which helps passenger systems to log in, print the climbing passes and signs of bags, and send their luggage. The US -based company was killed on Saturday to an “online disturbance” of its program at “Select” airports in Europe.

It was not immediately clear who might be behind the electronic attack, but the experts said that it might turn to infiltrators, criminal organizations, or government actors.

The European Commission, the European Union’s executive branch, said 27 countries, that air safety and air traffic control were not affected. She said there was no indication of a large -scale or severe attack, and the origin of the accident was under investigation.

While the departure councils of Heathrow and Brandenburg airports in London were showing signs of expatriates and leaving more smooth on Sunday, Brussels Airport was still facing major problems.

Brussels Airport said in an email on Sunday that it had asked airlines to cancel half of the 276 flights on Monday, “Because Collins has not yet been able to submit a new safe version of the check -in system.” She said that the cancellation and delay will continue as long as the manual checkpoint is necessary.

You did not respond to RTX Corp. , Collins Aerospace, immediately for an email painter on Sunday for a comment.

On Saturday, Aviation and Defense Technology Company said in a statement that it is working to solve the problem: “The impact on electronic checkpoint and luggage is limited and can be reduced with manual check -in operations.”

Brussels Airport said that nevertheless managed to maintain 85 percent of scheduled departures during the weekend thanks to the deployment of additional employees by airport partners “and the fact that the decrease in self -bags and the registration of online access are still working.”

The electronic attack not only affects computer systems in check -in offices, not self -service stalls, the official spokesperson for the airport IHSANE Chioua Lekhli, and the teams were heading to alternative backup systems and withdrawing laptops to help deal with the effect.

Airports advised passengers to check their flights before traveling to airports and using alternative checkpoints.

“Work continues to resolve and recover from the interruption of the air aviation system in Collins, which has affected the check -in,” he said. “We apologize to those who faced delays, but by working with airlines, the vast majority of flights at work continued.”

“Because of the power outage in a service provider, there are longer waiting times. Please use online check -in, self -service access and fast bag drop service,” said a message circulating on Sunday on the Brandenburg Airport web page.
