Full list of flights cancelled from Glasgow and Edinburgh amid air traffic control chaos
It has been a day of chaos at Scotland’s airports
Passengers at Edinburgh and Glasgow airports are facing long delays and multiple cancelled flights due to a technical fault in air traffic control systems
Passengers have been advised to check the latest flight information with their airlines, while airports apologised for the disruption caused.
Nats, which provides air traffic control services to 15 UK airports, said in a statement 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.”
