UK major ATC outage: Air traffic control systems glitch ‘identified & remedied’, over 1,200 flights cancelled

Date:

London: Thousands of passengers bound for UK airports remain stranded following a “technical issue” that hit the country’s air traffic control systems, which has since been “identified and remedied”, but the disruption caused with hundreds of flight cancellations is expected to continue into the week.

The disruption comes on one of the busiest travel days of the year – with many people returning from holidays on the last Bank Holiday weekend of the summer.

The UK’s National Air Traffic Services (NATS), which had “applied traffic flow restrictions to maintain safety” across UK airports, apologised for the disruption caused by issues in its flight planning system which was affecting its “ability to automatically process flight plans”.

It said that engineers would be monitoring the system’s performance as it returns to normal.

“We have identified and remedied the technical issue affecting our flight planning system this morning,” NATS said in a statement.
