The airline has also posted specific instructions for visitors in each certain situation, along with support at the airport. It is known that London's Gatwick airport is one of the places most affected by the incident, more than 1,000 British Airways customers are trapped in the airport.
The underlying cause of the problem is still unclear and under investigation, however, British Airways said the incident had little effect on their global systems. According to the BBC, the main problem lies in the online flight departure and check-in system, while leaving the possibility that this is a problem with the color of a cyber attack.
