Huge delays as British Airways cancels flights due to IT failure
British Airways has cancelled all flights from Gatwick and Heathrow as computer problems cause disruption worldwide.
Passengers have been told not to travel to the London airports because of "extreme congestion" at the terminals, with all BA planes grounded before 6pm on Saturday.
A spokeswoman for the airline said: "We have experienced a major IT system failure that is causing very severe disruption to our flight operations worldwide."
