BA flights were brought to a halt at Heathrow and Gatwick on Saturday with 75,000 people affected by the three days of disruption blamed on a “power surge” by BA boss Alex Cruz.
Travellers spent the night sleeping on yoga mats spread on terminal floors on Saturday after the airline cancelled all flights leaving the London hubs, and disruption continued into Sunday and Monday, the Evening Standard reports.
“Our IT systems are now back up and running and we will be operating a full flight schedule at Heathrow and Gatwick on Tuesday 30 May,” BA said in a statement this morning (Tuesday).
“We are extremely sorry for the frustration and inconvenience customers experienced over the bank holiday weekend and thank them for their patience and understanding.
“We are continuing to work to get delayed bags to customers as quickly as possible.”
