Hundreds of thousands of airline passengers are facing lengthy delays and cancellations on bank holiday Monday due to a fault in the UK’s air traffic control.
The main system used by NATS, the national air-traffic service, failed earlier this morning, with an estimated one million travellers potentially facing delays of up to 12 hours. Airlines such as EasyJet, Loganair and TUI have warned of delays and possible cancellations, while Gatwick and Belfast airport are among those affected by the “technical issue”.
