The EU Cybersecurity Agency says criminals are using ransomware to cause chaos in airports around the world.
Several of Europe's busiest airports have spent the past few days trying to restore normal operations after a cyber attack on US company Collins Aerospace on Friday disrupted their automatic check-in and boarding software.
The software provider says it is in the final stages of completing necessary updates.
Airlines have been advised to continue to use manual workarounds to board and check-in passengers.
It is not known who is behind the attack, but criminal gangs often use ransomware to seriously disrupt their victim's systems and demand a ransom in Bitcoin to reverse the damage.
