Brussels Airport has ordered airlines to cancel 50% of passenger flights departing on Sunday, September 21, after a cyberattack disrupted its check-in and boarding systems. The outage, caused by an external service provider, has also affected other European airports.
Air traffic controller Skeyes relayed the order to airlines and pilots on Saturday afternoon at the airport’s request. In a statement, Brussels Airport said the move was necessary to avoid extreme queues and last-minute cancellations.
The restrictions remain in place until 04:00 on Monday as investigations and recovery efforts continue.
