British Airways was hit with a technical failure on Monday, causing delays and disruptions to flights across Europe. Passengers reported issues with the airline’s website and flight delays on social media. British Airways confirmed the technical issue and said they were working to fix it. Heathrow Airport, the airline’s main base, later stated that the issue had been resolved and they were working to assist affected passengers. London Gatwick Airport also confirmed a short-term issue but said no disruptions occurred.
This is not the first time British Airways has experienced technical problems, as in 2019, the airline had to cancel more than 100 flights due to a computer system crash. The cancellations affected thousands of travelers at Heathrow and Gatwick airports, with an additional 300 flights facing delays. British Airways is owned by International Airlines Group.
The airline’s spokesperson has stated that flights are currently operating but with delays as they work to resolve the technical issue. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company, holds the rights to this content.
