Only a handful of airports there have been affected.No Indian airport operator has made any comment about the issue yet.“A third-party passenger system disruption at Heathrow may cause delays in the check-in process. Our ground teams in London are working to minimise inconvenience,” Air India said in a post on X on Saturday afternoon.The airline also asked passengers flying from London that day to complete web check-in before reaching the airport to avoid long waits.The BBC reported that the cyber-attack has affected electronic check-in and baggage systems at several airports across Europe.
