All short-haul flights from London's Heathrow, operated by British Airways, have been cancelled until midday.

British Airways announced that it would cancel all short-haul flights from London's Heathrow airport until midday on Saturday due to an IT failure.

The airline announced on Twitter that it had to cancel all short-haul flights from Heathrow until midday due to ongoing technical problems, expressing deep regret.

The airline stated that the issue, which was discovered on Friday and is impacting its website, app, and airport operations, was not due to a cyber attack.
