Half-term holiday plans for thousands of families were thrown into disarray after British Airways cancelled at least 42 more flights on Friday due to the impact of an IT failure.
Most of the affected flights were on short haul routes to and from Heathrow Airport on what was expected to be the busiest day for UK air travel since before the coronavirus pandemic.
Friday’s chaos was caused by planes and crew being out of position after an IT problem caused around 80 flights to be grounded on Thursday.
