@dailymailuk: Thousands of passengers were left facing travel chaos after a major air traffic control system failure hit UK airports ✈️😩 Around 1,300 flights to and from UK airports were cancelled on Tuesday, according to Flightradar24, with a further 327 cancellations recorded on Wednesday. Airports including Heathrow and Gatwick were hit by severe delays after planes were unable to take off safely. Around four hours after the disruption began, Nats said engineers had identified and fixed the problem. But the knock-on disruption was expected to take time to clear, with Nats apologising to passengers and advising travellers to check with their airline before heading to the airport. #uknews #airportchaos
