A ransomware attack against Collins Aerospace, a company that provides check-in systems to several airports in Europe, is still causing disruptions across the continent for the fourth day in a row.  

As of this writing, according to FlightRadar24, a website that monitors air traffic live, London’s Heathrow airport has 90% of flights delayed, with an average delay of 29 minutes; Brussels airport has 88% of flights delayed, with an average delay of 43 minutes; Berlin Brandenburg airport has 94% of flights delayed, with an average delay of one hour; and Dublin airport has 91% of flights delayed with an average delay of 26 minutes.  

Dublin airport’s spokesperson Graeme McQueen told TechCrunch in a statement that “there is no timeline at the current time for a fix to be implemented,” as airlines “continue to deploy manual workarounds while work continues to fix the IT issues that have been affecting check-in and boarding systems.”
