:05:32. > :05:33.silent to show their respect. And inside Manchester Cathedral, they
:05:34. > :05:35.joined that spirit of remembrance. Today we remember Megan Hurley,
:05:36. > :05:54.Elaine McIver, Courtney Boyle. The names of the 22 people were read

:07:06. > :07:08.were affected yesterday only to turn up at airports if they know
:07:09. > :07:12.they are booked on another flight. For some BA customers, it's been
:07:13. > :07:21.a long, uncomfortable night. Weary passengers, still hoping
:07:22. > :07:24.to catch their plane. Refreshment was being handed out
:07:25. > :07:28.by the airline in a heavily congested Terminal Five,
:07:29. > :07:30.but some customers were not It's just a lot of moving
:07:31. > :07:35.around, standing in lines I think it's just too big
:07:36. > :07:48.that they don't know what to do about it and it just seems
:07:49. > :07:51.like there's not enough people. We've been in the line
:07:52. > :07:53.for about five hours now. We've no idea how much longer we'll
:07:54. > :07:56.be here and we're getting no As thousands of people wait
:07:57. > :07:59.in packed terminals, many will not get to fly
:08:00. > :08:02.today at all. Dozens of flights have already been
:08:03. > :08:04.cancelled and many more will not depart as the airline struggles
:08:05. > :08:07.to reset its global network For aviation insiders though,
:08:08. > :08:13.this would be a lot more than just The passengers don't fly,
:08:14. > :08:19.the airline loses revenue from those passengers and maybe even has
:08:20. > :08:22.to refund and book another airline. But at the same time,
:08:23. > :08:24.they are incurring additional costs because there's compensation in some
:08:25. > :08:27.cases, that may need to be paid, not least
:08:28. > :08:29.from a regulatory point of view. A lot of hidden costs, repatriating
:08:30. > :08:35.peoples' bags for example. Some customers have been told
:08:36. > :08:38.their flight is cancelled online, then to get the exact opposite
:08:39. > :08:40.message when they call This issue for BA looks as if it's
:08:41. > :08:58.set to persist for far more That is the problem facing British

:09:03. > :09:07.Airport or not, they are coming back from all over the world and that

:09:15. > :09:18.website before coming to the airport. We are extremely sorry for
