Episode Details

UK air travel hit chaos Tuesday as Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester faced cancellations and delays after NATS’ flight processing system crashed—despite airspace remaining open. The ripple effect spread across Europe, with airlines like British Airways and EasyJet scrambling. This isn’t new: a similar 2023 glitch cost airlines over £100 million in refunds, prompting regulators to demand better contingency plans. Earlier this year, radar failures also grounded flights for hours. Travelers are hoping NATS fixes its systems before it happens again.
