BrusselsAirport last night was the scene of a cyber attack on a supplier that controls registration and boarding processes, the airport in the Belgian capital reported.
Brussels Airport has stated in a statement that the cyber attack has affected many other European airports, but has not provided any further details.

According to airport sources, the attack "has a major impact on flight hours and will unfortunately cause delays and cancellations of flights".
On the other hand, London 's Heathrow Airport, the largest in Europe, said that the supplier carrying out registration and boarding operations has had 'technical problems' which could cause delays for passengers.
In a message spread through the X social network, Heathrow explains that Collins Aerospace, a company that provides "check-in and boarding systems to several airlines at many airports worldwide," has experienced "a technical problem that could cause delays for passengers wishing to leave."
Berlin- Brandenburg Airport has posted a brief note on its website explaining that "due to a technical problem with the service provider operating in Europe, there is more waiting time in billing."
For the time being, it is unclear whether the cyberattack has caused any disruption or damage to other airports on the continent, and no one has claimed responsibility for this computer attack.
