  • BA worldwide computer failure

    Looks like BA is having a tough week. All flights grounded yesterday because of an IT failure. Still not back to normal today...

    Being from the tech side, I'm very curious why their back-up couldn't fire up for 3 whole days. From how it's reported in the media, including a BBC interview of the boss, it doesn't sound they had a tested and fully functioning redundancy plan in place. But that's the media - perpetually hyper-ventilating and mostly fake news. Waiting for the official response. BA and other airlines/businesses better learn from this very expensive experience.

      Being in IT I am also wondering this. After hearing it was due to a power loss, I bet they don't have any redundant systems and the wait was with energy providers / engineers.

        Nothing strange, just like recent Singtel boardband/internet issue down for 24 hours!

            Is always cost vs chances of failure until it actually happen.
