Thousands hit by disruption after cyber attack on European airport systems
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history,"
"Thousands of travellers have faced major flight disruption and cancellations after a cyber attack wreaked havoc on systems at airports across Europe. Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin airports are among those impacted by the attack on Collins Aerospace, a company that provides check-in and baggage drop systems for major transport hubs, with dozens of flights cancelled across the three sites. Huge, hours-long queues were reported as flights to key travel destinations, including Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Paris, were hit by delays and cancellations."

The outlet rejects paywalls and seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporters and provide free access to journalism. A cyber attack on Collins Aerospace disrupted check-in and baggage systems across European airports including Heathrow, Brussels and Berlin. Dozens of flights were cancelled, long queues formed, passengers were advised to check flight status, and experts warned disruptions could continue for days.
