Flights were delayed in some European travel hubs, including the continent’s busiest at Heathrow Airport near London, on Saturday, after technical problems with check-in systems that two airports attributed to a cyberattack on Friday evening. The delays had lingered through the day and had become widespread. At least five airports — Berlin-Brandenburg, Brussels, Dublin and Cork in Ireland, and Heathrow — said that the technical issue was affecting departing passengers. Heathrow and Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany’s third-largest, said the problem was with Collins Aerospace, an American company that provides check-in and boarding systems there and at other airports, causing longer waiting times for passengers. RTX, the company’s corporate parent, said in a statement on Saturday that there was a “cyber-related disruption” in its systems at some airports and that it was working to restore “full functionality to our customers as quickly as possible.” It added that airport staff could work around the issue by switching to manual check-ins.
