BERLIN, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Operations at the Berlin
airport were still disrupted on Monday after a cyberattack over
the weekend knocked out passenger check-in systems, leading to
delays of over an hour for runners in town for the Berlin
Marathon who were trying to head home.
Hackers targeted check-in and boarding systems provider
Collins Aerospace, owned by RTX on Friday, disrupting
operations at London's Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, as
well as in Brussels and Berlin.
More than 92,000 passengers were expected at Berlin airport
on Monday, more than the normal due to the marathon, said an
airport spokesperson, with work being done to keep disruptions
to a minimum.
Travellers should use their respective airline's online
check-in service if possible, added the spokesperson.
Collins said in a statement early Monday that it was working
with impacted airports and airline customers, and was in the
final stages of completing the updates needed to restore full
functionality.
