The UK transport secretary said engineers had fixed a technical issue affecting the air traffic control centre at Prestwick, according to The Guardian’s business coverage. Disruption affected flights in parts of the UK.
Passengers were warned that delays could continue as operations reset. Because this is a developing travel story, check the airport or airline directly before travelling.
Disruption after a system fault
The problem was reported at the Prestwick control centre, affecting flights in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. Traffic restrictions were applied while engineers investigated. The update says the technical issue was fixed, but that does not mean every delayed aircraft immediately returned to its schedule; passengers still needed flight-specific information.
