The company, which has apologized to passengers for this inconvenience, has pointed out that long-haul flights departing from

"We are extremely sorry that due to the

continuing technical issues

we are facing, we have unfortunately had to cancel all short-haul flights from Heathrow until noon today," said a statement from BA.

It adds that passengers traveling later should check the status of their flights on BA's website before arriving at the airport, as service interruptions are expected.

, without a surcharge.

Our teams have been working hard through the night and will continue to do so to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

On Friday, many passengers were unable to book flights or check-in online.
