Computer Glitch Hits BA

BRITISH Airways travelers are suffering delays globally due to a computer glitch in the check-in systems, the latest in a string of technical failures to hit major international airlines.

Travelers took to social media to complain of long lines and the airline said “a number” of airports were affected. According to tracking service Flightaware, 157 BA flights were delayed, or 17 percent of its total flights, and five were cancelled as of midday in London.

The airline apologized and said passengers are now being checked in at Heathrow and Gatwick Airports but that the process may be “a bit slower than usual.”

BA also had to apologize in July after computer glitches delayed passengers.
