Hundreds of British Airways passengers around the world were delayed and
transferred to other flights after a two-hour electrical failure at
Heathrow airport shut down the company's global computer network, the
company said. 

The failure on Friday affected the system used for checking in
passengers. The worst hit airport was Heathrow itself, where 11 flights
were cancelled and others delayed by up to two hours before the system
was eventually restored. 

"We have got a team of IT experts investigating the cause of the
problem,'' a company spokeswoman said. ``At this stage we do not know
what happened."
