Thousands of holidaymakers are facing travel chaos this morning after British Airways suffered an IT glitch.

The Standard reports that British Airways passengers have reported delayed and cancelled flights due to IT issues with the company’s check-in systems.

The airline is reported saying that the issue was not a global outage, but a problem with two separate systems – one dealing with online check in, the other with flight departures.
