Flights have been delayed and cancelled at three major European airports – including London’s largest, Heathrow – after the company behind the software used for check-in and boarding said it was hit by a cyber-attack.

Airports in Brussels and Berlin are also experiencing delays and disruption after the issue affecting Collins Aerospace, which works for several airlines at airports across the world.

The attack has raised concerns about the robustness of the systems underpinning critical infrastructure, with a prominent cybersecurity expert suggesting the disruption could theoretically spread to more airports. The transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, has said she is being kept informed.

“I’m aware of an incident affecting airline check-in and boarding, impacting flights at Heathrow and other European airports,” said Alexander. “I’m getting regular updates and monitoring the situation. If you’re flying at Heathrow today, check with your airline before travelling.”
