British Airways says computer outage causing global delays
Air travelers faced delays Saturday because of a worldwide computer systems failure at British Airways, the airline said.
BA apologized in a statement for what it called an "IT systems outage" and said it was working to resolve the problem. It said in a tweet that the problem is global.
Passengers at Heathrow Airport reported long lines at check-in counters and flight delays. One posted a picture on Twitter of BA staff writing gate numbers on a white board.
