IT failure at London Heathrow significantly disrupts air traffic on Sunday evening

IT-problems at London Heathrow significantly disrupted air traffic at UK’s biggest airport on Sunday evening. Passengers were unable to check in for their flights and all the screens inside all four airport terminals went blank. Consequently, passengers were unable to find their respective departure gates. 

Airlines were forced to cancel flights. London Heathrow deployed additional staff across the terminals to direct customers to their boarding gates. The airport apologized for the disruption and will continue to provide regular updates throughout the evening.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
