BER Airport: Return to Normal Operations 'in the Coming Days' - BER Airport Resumes Normal Operations After Cyberattack

Berlin's BER airport has successfully restored its systems following a widespread cyberattack on September 19. The incident, targeting Collins Aerospace, the airport service provider, caused extensive delays and cancellations across Europe, including major hubs like London Heathrow and Brussels.

The cyberattack initially disrupted flight operations at BER, with check-in counters and boarding gates closed. However, flight operations on Monday ran smoothly, thanks to the airport's swift response and extensive security tests conducted by the IT department to reintegrate the system. The service provider, Collins Aerospace, has since restored its system as of Sunday, paving the way for a gradual reopening of check-in counters and boarding gates in the coming days to resume normal operations.

The attack had a ripple effect across Europe. In addition to BER, airports in London and Dublin faced disruptions. Brussels was particularly hard hit, with numerous flights cancelled due to the attack.

The cyberattack on Collins Aerospace has been contained, and affected airports are working towards full recovery. Berlin's BER airport has demonstrated resilience, ensuring smooth flight operations despite the initial disruption. As systems are gradually restored, passengers can expect a return to normal operations in the near future.
