The UK’s Heathrow Airport has warned passengers of delays caused by a “technical issue.”
Taking to X, the Airport said: “Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding systems for several airlines across multiple airports globally, is experiencing a technical issue that may cause delays for departing passengers.
“While the provider works to resolve the problem quickly, we advise passengers to check their flight status with their airline before travelling.
“Please arrive no earlier than three hours before a long-haul flight or two hours before a domestic flight. Additional colleagues are available in check-in areas to assist and help minimise disruption.
“We apologise for any inconvenience.”
Brussels and Berlin airports have also confirmed flights have been disrupted, warning passengers to check with their airline before travelling.
Brussels Airport confirmed automated check-in systems have completely failed, meaning only manual check-ins are currently available.
“This has a large impact on the flight schedule and will unfortunately cause delays and cancellations of flights,” the check-in operator said.
“The service provider is actively working on the issue and trying to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.”
“Due to a technical issue at a system provider operating across Europe, there are longer waiting times at check-in. We are working on a quick solution,” Berlin Airport added on its website.
Frankfurt Airport has confirmed it is not affected by the incident.
