Global airport chaos 'after computers systems crash' causing major disruption at check-in desks across the world
Travelers are facing disruption at airports across the world today after reports of check-in computer systems crashing.
Problems have been reported by passengers at London's Gatwick and airports in Australia, Paris, Washington, Singapore, South Korea and South Africa, among many other locations.
Travellers said they were unable to check in for their flights with a number of airlines including British Airways, Air France, Qantas and Lufthansa.
Some said they had been waiting to check in for nearly two hours without any luck.
But a Gatwick spokesperson says the IT problem has been resolved, and it affected a computer programme used by airlines.
