英国航空公司在2024年11月18日面临重大飞行延误,原因是信息技术系统故障,致使飞行员无法以电子方式提交飞行计划。 British Airways faced major flight delays on November 18, 2024, due to an IT system failure that prevented pilots from filing flight plans electronically. 这一问题导致航班停飞,乘客滞留在希思罗5号航站楼和其他机场。 The issue caused flights to be grounded and passengers to be stranded at Heathrow Terminal 5 and other airports. 航空公司的网站也倒塌了,尽管这个问题在当天晚些时候得到了解决。 The airline's website was also down, though the problem was resolved later in the day. Heathrow机场说,其系统运作正常,正在协助受影响的乘客。 Heathrow Airport said its systems were operating normally and was assisting affected passengers. 这不是英国航空公司第一次遇到信息技术问题;2019年,由于类似的计算机崩溃,100多次航班被取消。 This is not the first time British Airways has experienced IT issues; in 2019, over 100 flights were canceled due to a similar computer crash.
