Several UK airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted, have grounded flights due to a technical issue affecting air traffic control systems. The disruption has caused widespread delays and cancellations, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. NATS, the UK’s air traffic control provider, confirmed engineers are working to resolve the problem.
The issue has impacted multiple major airports across the country, with some flights remaining grounded as of late afternoon. Travelers at Dublin Airport were also warned of significant delays, as the problem appears to have affected the entire UK aviation network. Officials have not yet provided a timeline for when normal operations will resume.
The technical issue is believed to be related to the flight processing system, which is critical for managing departures and arrivals. While the exact cause remains under investigation, NATS has assured that efforts are underway to restore services. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest updates.
