European airports are racing against time to fix the checkplace after an electronic attack
Berlin – Agencies:
Some of the largest airports in Europe, including Heathrow, are continuing the busiest in the region, at a rapid pace today, Sunday, efforts to restore its usual operations to automated check -in systems after they were disrupted after an electronic attack yesterday.
An electronic attack on the Collins Airbis Company, owned by RTX, which provides a number of airports with check -in and boarding systems, led to the disruption of operations yesterday, Saturday, at Heathro Airport in London, Berlin and Brussels, where the passengers faced long queues, dozens of cancellation and delays.
The data and airport officials indicated that the defect was noticeably eager by this morning, despite the continued delays, while the airport -related regulatory authorities said they are investigating the source of this attack.
This imbalance represents the latest episode in a wave of advanced electronic attacks targeting sectors from health care to cars. Recently, a luxury auto company’s programs have caused Jaguar Land Rover to paralyze its production completely, while another penetration at Marx & Spencer caused hundreds of millions of pounds.
RTX described this incident as an “electronic defect”, and made it clear that it affected its MSI program, which is used by several airlines. It was not possible to obtain a comment from the company yet.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport said on Sunday that the problems are still in place and that it is working with the company to solve it. The airport added that he is currently working on completing the procedures manually until the return of automated systems, explaining that delaying or canceling flights has become limited.
Brussels Airport stated in an updated statement to travelers today that the electronic attack had a “major influence” that caused delay and abolition of flights.
Heathrow Airport announced early this morning that it had begun restoring registration operations after it was interrupted. He added, “The majority of flights continue to run,” he added.
An analysis conducted by the airline data provider, Sirium, explained that the delays at Heathrow Airport became “limited” and in Berlin “medium” while in Brussels “large”, but it is gradually decreasing.
