UK air traffic control restricting flights due to ‘technical issue’
UK flights in the London area are affected by delays after Nats, the UK air traffic control authority, said it was restricting flights due to a “technical issue” at NATS Swanwick air traffic control centre “in order to ensure safety, which is always our first priority.”
Then a few minutes later a further update from Nats, saying it has restored the system affected by the outage and will work with airlines to minimise disruption caused.
