British Airways resumes full flight schedule

British Airways has said it will operate a full flight schedule from both Heathrow and Gatwick airports on Tuesday, the first time it has done so in days after a global IT crash caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled and delayed.

However, the airline admitted a "significant number of customers" are still without their luggage following the disruption which began on Saturday. Here is the latest:

  • The global glitch on Saturday affected 75,000 passengers worldwide
  • Many passengers missed flights or their planes were grounded
  • In addition to delays, some passengers reported the airline had also lost their luggage
  • Experts predict compensation costs could top £100 million
  • Computer blackout blamed on "power supply issue" and is not thought to be the result of a cyber attack
