British Airways: Flights Axed and Vacation Plans Put on Hold
It’s a long weekend for those in the UK and the only thing no one planned was an IT crash at the British Airways. As reported by popular news channels and publications, thousands of passengers were left stranded at London’s two biggest airports.
Considering it’s a long weekend for many, imagine the number of travel plans stranded in queues amidst all the chaos.
So what really happened?
The British Airways reports that there was a crash in their IT system due to a power supply issue. While there are rumors of a cyber attack, the Chief Executive denies them all, also promising that the airline is working towards resolving the issue. This is what really happened:
Check-in and operational systems affected, airline customer service phone lines hampered, re-booking flights function on hold, BA operations knocked down around the world, thousands of passengers stranded on airport, travelers asked to check airline’s site and social accounts for flight updates.
Simply put, the long weekend vacationing plans have turned into utter chaos.
