British Airways Says Technical Glitch Resolved That Resulted In Flight Delays - Intl Cons Airlines Group (OTC:ICAGY)

British Airway's services, a unit of International Consolidated Airlines Group ICAGY, suffered long delays after a failure related to flight-planning software.
The problem was due to a failure of software that British Airway pilots access via Apple Inc's AAPL iPads, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter said.
That system was being upgraded, according to the people.
Around 50% of British Airways flights were in the air in the early morning Tuesday compared with a week earlier, aircraft-tracking website Flightradar24 said.
The airline confirmed that it had suffered a "technical issue" with its flight-planning system, which was later resolved.
"Our teams have now resolved a temporary issue that affected some of our long-haul flight planning systems overnight, which resulted in delays to our schedule," British Airways said in an emailed statement. "We're sorry for the disruption caused to our customers' travel plans."
British Airways said there was no safety issue. Short-haul flights and long-haul services that had already departed weren't affected.
