BA suffers another computer system crash
British Airways has apologised to passengers who suffered delays after the airline’s computer system went down this morning.
Passengers were delayed at Heathrow and Gatwick in what BA described as ‘some issues affecting check in’.
BA said at about 8.45am the systems were back up and running after being down for about an hour
The airline said: "Due to issues experienced earlier with the British Airways check-in system, some passengers experienced minor delays in Terminal 5.
"We apologise for this experience and can confirm the issue has now been resolved."
For three days over the second May Bank Holiday, the BA system went down, resulting in global delays and lost baggage.
