More than 400 flights to and from UK airports were cancelled on Tuesday after a NATS technical fault disrupted air traffic control operations, while Ryanair said more than 65,000 of its passengers were delayed and more than 50 of its flights were cancelled.
The disruption followed a fault reported early on Tuesday afternoon in NATS' flight processing system, which affected departures at major airports including Heathrow and Gatwick and caused knock-on disruption to schedules across Britain and parts of Europe.
