Air traffic control fault delays flights at several British airports
Flights at Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast airports were delayed after an issue at NATS’ Prestwick centre in Scotland.
London, United Kingdom. Flights at several British airports were delayed on Monday due to an air traffic control failure, according to Britain’s NATS air traffic control provider.
Airport disruptions
Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast airports experienced delays linked to an issue at NATS’ Prestwick centre in Scotland.
NATS said airports south of Manchester were broadly unaffected. However, flights travelling north and departures from Scottish airports were subject to delays.
Separate from previous disruption
NATS said the delays were unrelated to an issue nearly two weeks earlier, when a software defect led to the cancellation of about 2,000 flights across the country.
