| Nightmare weekend for British Airways A temporary power outage at Heathrow caused major business continuity problems for British Airways on Saturday, due to a resulting computer failure that had knock-on effects around the world. Apparently, the company’s global network was shut down for some hours, with check-in and baggage-handling systems severely affected. Eleven flights were cancelled at Heathrow and other flights at the airport and around the world were delayed. A British Airways spokesman said that "We have got a team of IT experts investigating the cause of the problem."
