A man in his forties was arrested in West Sussex by the National Crime Agency (NCA) in connection with a cyberattack targeting Collins Aerospace, causing widespread flight disruptions at multiple European airports, including Heathrow. The attack, involving ransomware, led to days of delays as airlines resorted to manual check-in procedures. While the suspect was released on bail, the investigation is ongoing, with Collins Aerospace aiming for a full system restoration within a week.
