A cyberattack targeting check-in and boarding systems has snarled air traffic and caused delays at some of Europe’s top airports, officials said Saturday.
The Brussels airport says the attack means that only manual check-in and boarding was possible there, and the incident was having a “large impact” on flight schedules.
“There was a cyberattack on Friday night 19 September against the service provider for the check-in and boarding systems affecting several European airports including Brussels Airport,” it said in a statement.
