Chaos at London airports as check-in systems crash again

Unpublished
London - British Airways systems crashed this morning causing 'total chaos' for holidaymakers yet again. The technical fault sparked huge delays and queue at London's two biggest airports - Heathrow and Gatwick. Issues were also reported at London City. It is the seventh time in just over a year that BA has suffered a glitch after introducing a new check-in system last summer. Pictures emerged of queues up to eight rows deep at the check-in desk of Gatwick Airport. Despite it only lasting 20 minutes, flights from the capital to destinations including, Athens, Milan, Malta, Malaga, Glasgow and Dubrovnik were all delayed by the fault. Some passengers were even stuck on planes on the runway as they waited for the issue to be resolved. While others were unable to check in online for their flights and were told they had been 'departed'. (FA)
