London, Sept. 6 (Reuters): Air passengers were facing lengthy delays in Britain on Tuesday after a computer glitch hit British Airways check-ins and protesters from “Black Lives Matter” forced their way on to the runway of London City Airport. BA, owned by International Consolidated Airlines Group , apologised to customers for the delays and urged passengers to check in online before they reached the airport. Friend at #Dulles tells me pilots by gate but passengers still trying to check in!” Twitter user John Bevir wrote. The campaign group Black Lives Matter said its activists were behind the protest. Ten people from Black Lives Matter were arrested in August after they blocked the main road to London's Heathrow Airport.
