British Airways Faces Widespread Flight Delays

British Airways is facing significant disruptions due to a major IT failure that has resulted in delays for thousands of passengers across Europe. The technical issue has affected the airline's ability to file essential flight plans electronically, leading to longer wait times and communication breakdowns between pilots and operations centers. Passengers at various airports, including Heathrow and Edinburgh, have reported delays of up to two hours, with some stranded on the tarmac. BA acknowledged the situation, stating that their teams are working to resolve the issue, while Heathrow assured cooperation to keep passengers updated. The airline has a history of similar disruptions, which raises concerns about its operational reliability. There are fears that if the situation is not resolved soon, cancellations could follow.
