Travel chaos as more than 400 flights cancelled at UK airports
Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleMore than 400 flights to and from UK airports were cancelled and hundreds delayed on Tuesday following a technical issue in the flight processing system operated by air traffic control provider Nats. Major hubs including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, and Birmingham were amongst the worst affected, with approximately four per cent of total UK flight operations disrupted alongside knock-on delays across Europe. Nats confirmed engineers implemented a fix to resolve the glitch, but warned that full recovery across UK airspace will take time due to the significant backlog of flights. Airlines such as EasyJet advised passengers to check their flight status and offered affected travellers options including free transfers, refunds, meals, and hotel accommodation. Transport secretary Heidi Alexander apologised to travellers for the frustration caused, as many passengers faced severe delays, missed connections, and overnight stays at airports.
