British Airways faces major flight delays due to an IT system failure, stranding passengers.

British Airways faced major flight delays on November 18, 2024, due to an IT system failure that prevented pilots from filing flight plans electronically. The issue caused flights to be grounded and passengers to be stranded at Heathrow Terminal 5 and other airports. The airline's website was also down, though the problem was resolved later in the day. Heathrow Airport said its systems were operating normally and was assisting affected passengers. This is not the first time British Airways has experienced IT issues; in 2019, over 100 flights were canceled due to a similar computer crash.
