Irish-UK air travel is disrupted after a technical problem affects the UK air traffic control system, with some flights departing from and arriving into Irish airports cancelled. RTE reports that cancellations occur on Tuesday and that further delays are expected.
The disruption is linked to a fault in the UK’s air navigation operations associated with air traffic control provider Nats, according to Jowhar. RTE describes the issue as a technical problem impacting UK air traffic control, leading to cancellations across routes between Ireland and the UK. Jowhar adds that the situation initially causes widespread disruption, including at major UK airports, before officials later say the problem is fixed.
Across the outlets, the common points are that the cause is technical and located in the UK air traffic control system, cancellations involve flights connected to Irish airports, and the disruption develops as officials assess and then resolve the fault.
