Heathrow, Brussels & Berlin: Cyber-Error Overboarding Crisis
On September 20, 2025, Europe's top airportsâLondon Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlinâjoined a dysfunctional club after Collins Aerospace, the global check-in software guru, got cyber-attacked. So, instead of passengers boarding flights, they were starring in Terminal Wait: The Neverending Story. Collins Aerospaceâs system decided to ghost everyone simultaneously, leaving airlines scrambling and travelers embracing the new airport hobbyâwatching seconds tick like itâs a thriller. Heathrow, usually proud as the UKâs largest, proved size doesnât equal security, and Berlin and Brussels? They came along for the glitch ride. The cyberattack didnât just disrupt flights, it created the perfect irony cocktail: airlines landing passengers nowhere but right back in line.
