LONDON: British Airways said Saturday it had cancelled all its flights out of major London airports Heathrow and Gatwick after an IT systems failure. “We have experienced a major IT system failure that is causing very severe disruption to our flight operations worldwide,” BA said in a statement. “The terminals at Heathrow and Gatwick have become extremely congested and we have cancelled all flights from Heathrow and Gatwick before 6.00 pm UK time today (1700 GMT), so please do not come to the airports.” The airline said it had found “no evidence that it’s a cyber-attack,” with Britain still recovering from a ransom ware attack earlier this month that crippled key infrastructure.
