Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Some of Europe’s largest airports, including the region’s busiest Heathrow, continued at a rapid pace on Sunday. They made efforts to restore their usual automated check-in systems. These were disrupted following a cyberattack on Saturday.

Passengers faced long queues and dozens of cancellations and delays.
Data and airport officials showed that the severity of the defect had eased significantly by Sunday morning.
This is despite some continued delays, while airport-related regulators said they were investigating the source of the attack.
