Heathrow Flights Disrupted by Air Traffic Control Technical Issue
A technical issue at the UK's National Air Traffic Services (NATS) centre caused significant flight disruption at London's Heathrow Airport. The problem, which affected the system for processing flight data, resulted in numerous delays and some cancellations on Thursday morning. While NATS resolved the fault within a few hours, airlines like British Airways continued to experience knock-on effects throughout the day. This incident follows a more severe, widespread NATS system failure in August 2023. Passengers were advised to check the status of their flights directly with their airlines.
