UK flights disrupted after air traffic control ‘technical issue’

Flights across the United Kingdom have been disrupted as the country’s air traffic control authority reported a technical issue, but later said the glitch had been resolved.

The National Air Traffic Services, or NATS, said in a statement on Wednesday that departures at all airports have resumed and that teams are working with affected airlines and airports to “clear the backlog safely”.
