"UK Air Travel Faces Days of Disruption Due to Technical Glitch and Control System Fault"

Widespread disruption to air travel in the UK is expected to last for days after air traffic control systems were hit by a technical problem. British Transport Minister Mark Harper stated that it would take time for airlines to return to normal operations, and while the government does not believe the issue was a cyberattack, investigations are ongoing. Hundreds of flights were cancelled or delayed, causing frustration among passengers, and both departures and arrivals at major airports like Heathrow were affected. Airlines are working to accommodate passengers, but flight schedules have been disrupted due to planes and crews being in the wrong locations.
