(Adds BA's statement from Twitter)
May 29 (Reuters) - London's Heathrow Airport said early on
Monday that there were still some disruptions to British Airways
flights from the airport following a global computer
system failure at the airline.
BA said on Twitter it would run a full schedule at London's
Gatwick on Monday and intended to operate a full long-haul
schedule from Heathrow along with a high proportion of
short-haul service.
The airline resumed some flights from Britain's two biggest
airports on Sunday, but hundreds of passengers were still
waiting for hours at London Heathrow.
"We have mobilized additional Heathrow colleagues to assist
passengers at the terminals and give out free water and snacks,"
Heathrow said in a statement on Twitter.
The airport said earlier that further delays and
cancellations of BA flights were expected on Sunday and told
passengers not to travel to the airport unless they were
rebooked on other flights.
BA canceled all its flights from Heathrow, Europe's busiest
airport, and Gatwick on Saturday after a power supply problem
disrupted its flight operations worldwide and also hit its call
centers and website.
