British Airways said it resolved a systems glitch that forced the cancellation of more than 90 short-haul flights across three London airports on Wednesday, playing havoc with travel plans for thousands of people.
“Our flights are returning to normal, however there may be some knock-on operational disruption as a result,” the airline said in a statement Wednesday. Flights across Europe and the U.K. were affected, with more than 80 scrapped at Heathrow Airport and at least another 10 at Gatwick. Some 200 other flights were delayed, with London City Airport also affected.
