This summer, British Airways, the UK’s flag carrier airline, reported an IT system fault that caused hundreds of flights across the UK to be delayed, as well as dozens of flights to be canceled entirely. Three British airports were affected, and hundreds of travelers were forced to rebook their flights or check in using manual processes as a result of the outage. Despite the fact that the issue has been resolved, airports continue to face challenges. Before normal service was restored, the effects of this breakdown might still be felt for a long time. This computer issue at British Airways is the most recent in a long line of IT issues for the airline. For a data breach, British Airways received a record fine of 200 million euros last year. This occurred as a result of a cyber-attack that caused a website outage and exposed the personal information of 500 thousand customers. In 2017, British Airways had a major system failure that impacted 75,000 passengers and cost the company nearly £80 million.
