BER reconnects airlines to IT system after cyber attack - Berlin Brandenburg Airport Resilient After Cyberattack
Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) has weathered a cyberattack on its service provider, Collins Aerospace, with minimal disruption to flight operations. The attack, which occurred on September 19, 2025, involved ransomware but remains unclaimed by any specific entity.
Initially, the cyberattack caused disruptions to electronic systems used for passenger and baggage handling at BER. Check-in counters were affected, leading airlines such as American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and United Airlines to resort to manual check-in processes or temporary technical solutions. Despite the challenges, flight operations have continued smoothly.
Over the next few days, the airport will gradually and systematically reactivate counters and boarding gates to restore normal operations. Airlines such as Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines, and Spirit Airlines are being reconnected to the affected IT system, with some longer wait times still possible at check-in, boarding, and baggage claim.
Collins Aerospace, the targeted service provider, has since restored the affected system. BER anticipates a full return to normal operations in the coming days, with passengers advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
