Hundreds of passengers are currently stuck in ‘huge’ check-in lines while others remain grounded on planes after the airline’s global computer system went down this morning, Joinfo.com reports with reference to Metro.
Several passengers have reported that the captain and gate staff at Gatwick Airport said the airline could be under a cyber attack but BA have said there is no evidence of this.
People are now being advised not to come to the airports as all flights will remain suspended due to congestion.
