A spokesperson for the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre said on Saturday it was working with Collins Aerospace, affected UK airports, the Department for Transport and law enforcement to fully understand the impact of the incident.
UK Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander also said she was aware of the incident and was “getting regular updates and monitoring the situation”.
The European Commission, which plays a role in managing airspace across Europe, said it was “closely monitoring the cyber-attack”, but that there was no indication it had been “widespread or severe”.
Cyberattacks in the aviation sector have increased by 600% over the past year, according to a recent report by French aerospace company Thales.
