Technical failure at British air traffic control causes flight delays
Travelers flying from or to the United Kingdom on Tuesday should expect significant delays and cancellations. A technical problem at the British air traffic control, known as NATS, is causing major issues in the airspace. As a result, air traffic capacity is temporarily limited.
The disruption also affects flights to and from Belgium. Several airlines operating between Belgian airports, such as Brussels Airport, and British destinations have had to adjust their schedules. Passengers are advised to closely monitor the status of their flight before leaving for the airport.
British authorities are currently working hard to resolve the technical defect. However, it is not yet clear how long the problems will persist and when air traffic will return to its full schedule. Air traffic control asks travelers to be patient during this unforeseen situation.
For travelers in Belgium, this means they may have to wait longer for their flight or that their travel plans may be changed at the last minute. It is wise to contact the airline for the most up-to-date information regarding specific flights.
