Delays at some UK airports due to latest air traffic control failure

Flights ​at several British airports were delayed on Monday ‌due to an air traffic control failure, Britain's NATS air traffic control provider ‌said, less than two weeks after a ‌separate issue halted flights across the country.

Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast airports were experiencing delays, which ⁠NATS ​said was ⁠related to an issue at its Prestwick centre ⁠in Scotland. "Airports south of Manchester are ​broadly unaffected, however flights heading north and ⁠flights departing Scottish airports are currently subject to ⁠some ​delay," NATS said in a statement.

NATS said Monday's delays were "unrelated to ⁠the issue two weeks ago", when around 2,000 ⁠flights ⁠were cancelled due to a software defect.
