We are experiencing disruption to our flights...
BA have just tweeted that they are "experiencing disruption to our flights as a result of an issue with some of our IT systems....." Does anyone what the problem is?

I believe they are upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 98 and something went wrong.

The current issues are mainly due to a global BA IT system outage, completely unconnected to the earlier ATC tower fire alarm activation. The latter issue resulted in only a handful of flights being delayed or diverted.

A reply to a customer on Twitter at 21:09 states their systems are back up and running but there’s an obvious backlog to deal with.

The evening INV rotation was among the victims, significant numbers of BAs passengers running up compensation claims in the lounge car on the sleeper now...
