Jeppesen, a wholly-owned Boeing subsidiary that provides navigation and flight planning tools, confirmed on the Thursday 3rd of November that it is dealing with a cybersecurity incident that has caused some flight disruptions.
A spokesperson for Boeing told The Record that the issue was a cybersecurity incident, and the company is still working to restore services.
“Our subsidiary, Jeppesen, experienced a cyber incident affecting certain flight planning products and services.
There has been some flight planning disruption, but at this time we have no reason to believe that this incident poses a threat to aircraft or flight safety,” the spokesperson said.
In recent months, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has sought to mandate that all cybersecurity incidents experienced by aviation firms are reported to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) within 24 hours.
