Flight delays today are in line with a normal operating day,&quot; the statement said.London&#39;s Heathrow Airport said on Sunday morning that it was still working to recover from a breakdown in its passenger check-in system, adding that &quot;the vast majority of flights are continuing to operate&quot;.On Friday, hackers attacked check-in and boarding system provider Collins Aerospace, causing disruptions at Heathrow Airport in London, as well as airports in Berlin and Brussels.The European Commission, which has a role in managing airspace in Europe, said it was &quot;closely monitoring the situation regarding the cyber attack&quot;, but that there were no indications that it was widespread or serious.Cyber attacks in the aviation sector have increased by 600 percent over the past year, according to a recent report by the French aerospace and defense company &quot;Thales&quot;.
