Jeppesen, a subsidiary of Boeing that provides navigation and flight planning tools, has confirmed that it is dealing with a cybersecurity incident, which has resulted in some flight disruptions. A red banner was added to the company's website, alerting visitors that the Colorado-based company was having technical difficulties with some of its products, services, and communication channels. According to a Boeing spokesperson, the problem was a cybersecurity incident, and the company is still working to restore services. Although the scope of the disruptions is unknown, the incident is affecting the receipt and processing of current and new Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs), which are notices filed with aviation authorities to alert pilots of potential hazards along a flight route.

In May, India's SpiceJet airline reported being infected with ransomware, stranding hundreds of passengers at airports due to flight cancellations. Accelya, a technology provider for many large airlines, reported a ransomware attack linked to the BlackCat group in August. Bangkok Airways announced in August that hackers stole passenger information during a security breach caused by a ransomware incident.
