Yes, BA have got flights operating to and from LHR, but with increasing delays.

From what I can make out:

- App nearly unusable for any data operation, including retrieving boarding passes
- BA.com works except for OLCI
- T5 is going to be badly affected since while they can use a backup system, it is going to need more manual assistance all the way through the system.
- LCY least badly affected, but they do have delayed flights building up now, typically 20 - 40 minutes.
- LGW has got longer delays but still operating. So the first flight, to Malta, was due out at 06:15 but departed at 07:23
- big chunk of shorthaul cancellations, noted above, spanning period from 09:00 to the 12:20 to BRU. Nothing after that at the moment.
