Hundreds of flights were cancelled across the UK yesterday, with disruption continuing into a second day

A small number of flights to and from Glasgow and Edinburgh have continued to be impacted following yeserday’s air traffic control issues.

Yesterday, hundreds of flights were impacted across the UK with recovery from the issue due to “take some time”, Nats has said.

The issues have continued into a second day at some UK airports, with flights into London impacted by the knock on effect.

Passengers have been advised to check the latest flight information with their airlines, while airports apologised for the disruption caused.

Responding to the issue last night, Nats, which provides air traffic control services to 15 UK airports, said it was “investigating a technical issue” causing disruption to some flight departures, and later said it had identified the problem was in its “flight processing system”.

The company said: “Our engineers are on site and working urgently to resume normal operations as quickly as possible.

“We recognise the ongoing disruption to travel, for which we sincerely apologise.

“Flights are still departing and airspace is open, but recovery will take some time. We will provide further updates as soon as possible.

“Passengers should check the status of their flight with their airline.”

Nats later said it had “implemented a fix” and its flight system was “starting to recover.”
