COMPUTER GLITCHES DELAY BA FLIGHTS

Posted on 09/06/2016 | About Gatwick Airport, United Kingdom

Travellers on British Airways are suffering delays globally due to computer glitches in the check-in systems, with the company warning that there may be further trouble. Travellers took to social media to complain of long lines and the airline said “a number” of airports were affected.

The airline apologized and said passengers are being checked in at Heathrow and Gatwick Airports but that the process may be “a bit slower than usual.”BA had similar problems in July when computer glitches in check-in systems also delayed passengers. It began installing new systems last October and completed the rollout earlier this year.BA says it would “encourage customers to check in online before they reach the airport.”The airline's problems come barely a month after US carrier Delta Air Lines Inc. suffered a global outage that caused it to cancel 2,300 flights.
