British Airways has canceled all Saturday flights from London’s two biggest airports after “a major IT system failure” caused severe disruption to flight operations worldwide, the airline announced.
“There’s no evidence it’s a cyberattack,” airline officials noted.
The airline originally canceled only flights before 1 p.m. ET (6 p.m. BST).
“We are working hard to get our customers who were due to fly today onto the next available flights over the course of the rest of the weekend,” the airline mentioned in a statement Saturday afternoon. “Those unable to fly will be offered a full refund.”
The system outage occurred on Britain’s spring break holiday weekend and has “affected our call centres and our website but we will update customers as soon as we are able to,” the airline said.
