According to The Independent, the incident is not linked to cyberattack that currently causes problems at large airports in Europe, such as Heathrow, Berlin and Brussels. However, journalist Simon Calder noted that this is “another bad news” in an already difficult day for European Air Force.
“On a day that already seemed difficult for European air transport, this is another bad development,” he said. Calder recalled that Dublin’s Terminal 2 is Aer Lingus’s main hub, with flights to both the United Kingdom and transatlantic connections.
