<p>At least 58 of the day’s arrivals – equivalent to 9% – were cancelled due to the knock-on effect of the problem, which emerged on Sunday.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>A further 30 departing flights were also grounded from what is the UK’s busiest airport.</p>
<p>All the flights affected on Monday were operated by British Airways, which is the largest airline at the west London hub.</p>
<p>On Sunday, some 73 departures and 60 arrivals from various carriers were cancelled.</p>
<p>The problems at Heathrow compounded the misery for UK air passengers after Storm Dennis caused hundreds of cancellations over the weekend at the start of the half-time getaway.</p>
<p>EasyJet’s schedules were heavily reduced, with flights grounded at airports such as Gatwick, Luton and Bristol.</p>
<p>Heathrow apologised for the disruption and said extra staff had been drafted in to help with directing people to their gates.</p>
<p>The situation at the airport on Sunday was described on Twitter by one passenger as “utter chaos”.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Jenny Nielsen tweeted pictures of whiteboards displaying handwritten flight numbers and destinations.</p>
<p>She said: “Computer systems down at Heathrow. No electronic tickets allowed, delays &; no flight information on screens … Oh Blighty.”</p>
<p>A Heathrow spokesman said: “Following yesterday’s technical issue, Heathrow’s systems are stable and the airport is operating as normal.</p>
<p>“We apologise for the inconvenience this caused our passengers.</p>
<p>“Our teams continue to closely monitor our systems and will be on hand across our terminals to provide assistance to passengers.”</p>
<p>A British Airways spokeswoman said: “The technical issue with Heathrow Airport’s systems has now been resolved but. after 10 hours of disruption across all terminals, we do expect to see a knock-on effect to today’s short-haul schedule.</p>
<p>“We’ve introduced a flexible booking policy and have brought in extra colleagues to help our customers get on their way as smoothly as possible.”</p>
