BRITAIN-TECHNOLOGY-COMPUTERS-IT-AVIATION

Passengers queue in the British Airways check-in area of Gatwick Airport as some flights are cancelled or delayed, in Horley, south of London on July 20, 2024. The British government said on Friday that it had activated its civil contingencies committee to handle the response to a global IT outage that hit UK transport and health services. Airports including London Luton, Belfast and Edinburgh warned of longer waiting times for passengers because of the glitch, which was apparently caused by an update to an antivirus programme.
