A major fault forced flights to be cancelled and left others stuck on planes after landing.
A ‘technical issue’ with the British Airways boarding system this afternoon left people reportedly stranded on the runway with no explanation of when they would be allowed to enter the airport.
A systems outage has forced British Airways to cancel at least 50 flight, affecting thousands of passengers.
The IT collapse crippled operations systems at the airline, causing huge delays to departures and to inbound flights.
Others have also reported mass cancellations due to the fault, which is said to have left the airline’s computer system unable to ‘see’ which planes had landed.
