Thousands of passengers ‘radar problems’ because of the ground stuck in the airports in the UK chaos exploded.
The largest of the UK, the largest London Heathrow, departments from airports are on hold due to ATC failure.
Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Stansted, Manchester, Gatwick and Luton are among the affected.
It is seen that technical problems have closed London’s airspace and enable many flights to be surrounded.
A person in X reported that a flight connected to Heathrow has not currently descended safely, but I have taken Nevis into the apartment.
Meanwhile, passenger Jane Ainsworth said that his flight to Daily Mail from Kos to Birmingham had to go down to Brussels.
Meanwhile, a frustrated passenger reported that he wouldn’t go anywhere ‘while sitting in a plane on the track for the last 40 minutes.
“ `For the last 40 minutes @HeathrowAirport does not go anywhere. Apparently ‘radar does not work’. @Brithish_Airways crew Fab. ‘

Many flights were directed due to common problem
The statement of NTAS, England’s largest air traffic control firm, said: ‘As a result of a technical problem at the Nats Swanwick Air Traffic Control Center, we always limit the number of flying aircraft in the London control area to ensure our first priority, which is our first priority.
We apologize for delays that may cause this. Our engineers work hard to solve the problem as quickly as possible and we work closely with airlines to help them minimize disruption. At this stage, we cannot say how long the operations will take to normal.
‘Please consult your airline about the status of your flight.’
Last year, a bank holiday air traffic control melting, which left more than 700,000 passengers trapped, worsened, because an engineer’s password would not work.
Chaos exploded last August, a flight plan disruption of the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) computer system.
Thousands of passengers ‘radar problems’ due to the airports in the UK was stuck on the ground.
As the system fell, the flights could not go to any airport or could not go down, which caused Hell delays, which lasted for days and had a compensation of £ 100 million to their airlines.
A civil aviation authority investigation of the incident found that IT support engineers were allowed to work from the house in one of the busiest days of the year.
The engineer, who was assigned to solve the problem, struggled to enter remotely because the system collapsed, so he would not accept his password.
It took them for an hour and a half to enter their offices, where they restarted a full system ‘ – this did not solve the problem.
Although thousands of holidaymakers were stuck in airports or asphalt, advice was received from an out -of -field senior engineer who did not understand why the system was so dramatic.
