British Airways ‘technical issue’ causes widespread delays
British Airways passengers faced widespread delays throughout the airline’s network Thursday as a technical problem led to cancellations and frustrated travellers. The problem, which a BA spokesman could only describe as “a technical issue,” began overnight Nov 20-21, causing what he described as “less than a handful” of cancellations on flights scheduled to head to the UK. Widespread comments on social media platforms described delays of up to 12 hours and some cancellations leading to passengers having to wait almost 24 hours for the next service. A few passengers said pilots had spoken of problems with the flight-planning system. The spokesman said he was not sure of the average delay to fights, “but we wouldn’t argue with some of the reports we’ve seen out there.” <br/>
