BA woes continue for another day...

It has been another day of mass disruption for thousands of British Airways passengers as the airline cancels 175 flights.

Following a massive IT issue on Thursday caused over 80 flights to be cancelled and led to many crews and aircraft in the wrong places to operate following flights. According to the airline,  most of the flights axed are domestic and European services, although there have been some issues reported of passengers being unable to check in via the carrier's app and website.

Today, around 175 flights have been cancelled and scores of others delayed and whilst the airline believes the situation is resolved, we expect some disruption will still occur tomorrow and even into Sunday. 

BA said: "While the vast majority of our flights continue to operate today, we have cancelled some of our short-haul flights from Heathrow due to the knock-on effect of a technical issue that we experienced yesterday."

The airline said it had picked to cancel flights to destinations where it had or there were more alternative flight arrangements. 

"We’ve apologised to customers whose flights have been affected and offered them the option to rebook to an alternative flight with us or another carrier, or request a refund."
