Brit travellers are again facing flight nightmares with several UK airports experiencing severe delays and cancellations after another air traffic control failure.
The latest glitch is causing issues for those flying in and out the country, just two weeks after a major outage left thousands of passengers stranded.
Now, a number of UK airports – including London Gatwick, Glasgow Airport and Belfast International Airport – all amongst those currently seeing disruptions.
It has been reported that an issue with National Air Traffic Services (NATS) is again affecting airspace in the north of England and Scotland. NATS has said the issue is unrelated to the previous major air traffic control outage that saw over 500,000 passengers stranded.

Passengers who do not have a confirmed flight have been instructed to not travel to the airport.
Glasgow Airport has also issued a statement on its website about the delays, saying: “A technical issue affecting NATS air traffic control services at the Prestwick Centre is causing disruption to some flight departures and arrivals.
