More than 150 flights were cancelled across the United Kingdom on Wednesday as the country’s air traffic control service worked to restore normal operations following a technical glitch that disrupted air travel.
The cancellations came as travellers faced further delays and disruption, with the technical failure continuing to affect flight operations across the country.
Britain’s air traffic control service scrambled to recover from the glitch, which had already caused widespread disruption and left passengers facing uncertainty over their journeys.
The latest cancellations added to the disruption for travellers at airports across the UK, as airlines worked to manage the impact on scheduled flights.
Passengers affected by the cancellations were advised to check with their airlines for the latest information about their flights and any changes to their travel arrangements.
The incident has highlighted the reliance of the UK’s aviation network on air traffic control systems, with the technical problem creating knock-on effects for flight schedules.
Air traffic control officials continued efforts on Wednesday to recover operations and reduce the disruption affecting travellers.
