Dublin Airport disruption continues following cyber-attack
The cyber attack on Collins Aerospace systems forced manual check-in at major European airports, causing flight delays and cancellations, with investigations ongoing.
- A cyberattack on the company responsible for the check-in and boarding software led to major disruptions at several key European airports beginning Friday night, 19 September.
- The attack targeted Collins Aerospace's MUSE software, which operates check-in and baggage systems, affecting airports including Brussels, Heathrow, Berlin, and Dublin as investigations continue.
- Airports responded by implementing manual check-ins, with Brussels Airport cancelling half its departing flights and Dublin facing a second day of terminal disruption and a precautionary evacuation due to suspicious luggage.
- RTX, Collins Aerospace's parent company, acknowledged the disruption as cyber-related, stating it limits electronic check-in and baggage drop but can be mitigated manually, while urging a swift resolution.
- The incident exposed vulnerabilities in air travel's digital infrastructure, led to flight delays and cancellations, and prompted advisories for passengers to allow extra time and check flight statuses.
