Here's a recap of how the story unfolded:

• 12:00 BST - passengers begin to report long delays at checkin as British Airways suffers what it called "network wide system issues."
• The delays began to have a knock on effect on flights returning to London from abroad.
• 13:13 BST - British Airways cancels all flights scheduled to depart Heathrow and Gatwick after 18:00 BST
• The GMB union blamed the outage on outsourcing IT work to India.
• 16:30 BST - British Airways cancels all flights from Heathrow and Gatwick for the rest of the day.
