AT least 89 flights have been cancelled in Scotland today, after an air traffic technical issue affected airspace in the south of the UK.

Nats, which provides air traffic control services to 15 UK airports, said in a statement it was “investigating a technical issue” causing disruption to some flight departures, and later said it had identified the problem was in its “flight processing system”.
