Hong Kong airport systems grind to a halt

Computer bugs have brought Hong Kong's airport cargo handling system to its knees.

The $20bn (£12.2bn) airport was only opened on Monday but has quickly stumbled upon system problems, which have caused 24 hour delays for some travellers.

A spokeswoman for the Hong Kong Embassy said: "It's only a minor problem" but was unable to confirm whether systems have returned to normal.

The bugs are in the cargo IT systems and baggage handling operations. Cargo operations have been transferred back to Hong Kong's old Kai Tak airport until engineers can solve the problems.
