Airlines around the world have been affected by a mass IT outage on Friday (July 19).
The global issues have affected airports, trains, and businesses in various sectors, causing chaos.
On Friday morning, Gatwick airport - the second busiest airport in the UK - said it had been affected by the outage, believed to be linked to a Microsoft Windows security update.
In the UK, there has been disruption to services as the computer error caused departure screens to malfunction.
Departure boards in the main terminal froze and showed out-of-date information about gate numbers and departure times, resulting in some passengers missing their flights.
A fire alarm was also sounded over at Edinburgh airport, which was believed to have been triggered by the same computer error. The airport said it was working to resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, Ryanair says there are "potential disruptions across the network" and advises anyone travelling today to check the Ryanair app for updates on their flight.
US-based airlines United, Delta and American Airlines have also experienced disruption, issuing a "global ground stop" on all their flights.
Microsoft said it was “investigating an issue impacting users’ ability to access various Microsoft 365 apps and services”, and that it was taking “mitigation actions".
The issue is thought to be connected to an update from the US cyber security company CrowdStrike, which is causing issues on companies across different industries.
George Kurtz, the company’s CEO, claimed that tech outage was the result of a "defect" in a "single content update" for Windows hosts.
If you’re set to travel today, here are the latest delays and cancellations from Gatwick.
