Cyberattack disrupts systems at several major European airports, delaying travel

A cyberattack targeting Collins Aerospace's check-in and boarding systems caused disruptions at several major European airports on Saturday. While the impact was limited, with some delays and a few cancellations, the incident exposed vulnerabilities in the aviation industry's reliance on shared digital systems. Manual check-in procedures were implemented, causing longer wait times for some passengers. Experts suggest the attack could be from hackers, criminal organizations, or state actors, highlighting the increasing vulnerability of the airline industry to supply chain attacks.
