Tech fault grounds 400+ UK flights
Britain's aviation activity experienced a technical malfunction, leading to the cancellation of over 400 flights, primarily from Heathrow Airport, the country's largest and busiest. The UK Air Traffic Control service, "NATS," announced that the system was beginning to recover after technical solutions were implemented. However, the disruptions affected flights at several airports, including Gatwick, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Edinburgh, resulting in dozens of cancellations at Dublin Airport. This outage comes after a similar crisis in July, and a wider disruption in 2023 that caused delays and cancellations of hundreds of flights, impacting more than 700,000 travelers. British Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander confirmed that efforts are underway to resolve the issue and issued an apology to affected passengers.
