Korean Air and Asiana Airlines experienced a data breach through Amadeus IT Group, their shared reservation system provider. The incident highlights the systemic cybersecurity risks airlines face from reliance on third-party IT providers that manage critical passenger and booking data.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 2 sources have reported it between 25 Oct 2026 and 26 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must scrutinise your tech partners’ security practices as your own controls no longer cover shared provider risks. A breach at a single provider can suddenly expose your entire customer base.
