According to some sources the system failure was similar to British Airway’s hacking troubles over the past week, when the airline was hit by a worldwide computer system failure on Saturday. The error had caused cancellations and delays for thousands of passengers as about 60% of the British Airway flights were cancelled from the Heathrow Airport.
