The company confirmed that technical disturbances are related to cyber attack and said that their team is busy solving the problem as soon as possible.

Heathro Airport warns passengers
Heathro Airport in London warned the passengers that there was a possibility of delay in departure and they appealed to the people to continue to investigate the status of their flights. Automatic check-in and boarding at Brussels Airport were completely closed, due to which the employees had to do the process of passengers manually.

The airport administration admitted that it had a direct impact on the time of flights and many flights had to be canceled. Similarly, Berlin Airport released information on its website saying that due to the technical problem, passengers may have to wait long during check-in, although efforts are on to resolve the problem rapidly.

Germany’s Frankfurt Airport and Switzerland’s Zurich Airport continued to function normally and clarified that the attack on their services had no effect. Poland Deputy Prime Minister and Digital Affairs Minister Krisstof Gavkovski also issued a statement saying that there is no threat to his country’s airports. He said that the situation is constantly being monitored and Polish officials are in touch with other European countries.
