BA Struggles To Restore Order Three Days After IT Metldown

British Airways is continuing to work to restore its computer systems after a power failure allegedly caused major disruption for thousands of passengers worldwide.

The BBC reports that the airline is "closer to full operational capacity" after an IT power outage resulted in mass flight cancellations at Heathrow and Gatwick.

Thousands of passengers remain displaced, with large numbers sleeping overnight in terminals.
BA has not explained the cause of the power outage.

So far on Monday, 13 short-haul flights at Heathrow have been cancelled.

Chief executive Alex Cruz has posted videos on Twitter apologising for what he called a "horrible time for passengers".

No-one from the British Airways has been made available to answer questions about the system crash, and it has not explained why there was no back-up system in place.

BA To Charge For Long Haul Food

Customers of British Airways on their long haul flights may one day have to buy their own food and drink, Alex Cruz the airline’s chairman has disclosed.

BA may widen out its short flight policy of scrapping free food and instead offering passengers the option to buy Marks & Spencer sandwiches.

Alex Cruz is gung-ho about it, seemingly passengers welcome the opportunity to pay for M&S snacks on European short haul flights.

He told the Sunday Times:

“It's going great. Customers say to us: 'Finally, I have good choices. No more chicken or beef'."

Asked if the service could be extended to long-haul economy, he said: "We might do it".

What a load of bollocks, of course people don't want to pay more for their flights.

The answer is simple, don't fly BA!

BA Stops Elderly Lady From Using Toilet

The Telegraph reports that British Airways staff have been criticised for stopping an 87-year-old woman from using the toilet on a flight, leaving her sitting in soaking clothes.

Kocharik Tsamouzian was bound for London from Los Angeles but realised she needed to use the bathroom shortly after boarding the plane.

As the flight was delayed on the runway she was repeatedly told she was not allowed to the use the bathroom, with a cabin crew member even reportedly blocking her access in the aisle at one point.
The flight, on December 22 last year, ended up waiting on the runway for 90 minutes, resulting in Mrs Tsamouzian wetting herself.

BA are quoted:

“We have been in touch with our customer after what we understand must have been a very distressing experience.

Our highly trained cabin crew always work to make our customers as comfortable as possible, but Civil Aviation Authority safety rules stipulate everyone must remain seated with their seatbelts on after the aircraft has started moving.

The safety and security of our customers is always our top priority.”

Clealry BA's PR department hasn't read this:

"Adequate toilet facilities must be maintained and made available to passengers during the delay."

A disgraceful way to treat someone, especially an elderly lady!
