Nine flights to London cancelled in Portugal due to British air traffic control failure

A technical failure in the British air traffic control system operated by NATS caused the cancellation of nine flights between Lisbon and Faro and London, out of a total of around 250 flights affected in the United Kingdom, mainly at Heathrow, the largest European airport. The failure, detected on Tuesday and initially repaired, returned to cause disruptions, forcing airlines to reallocate aircraft and crew. Gatwick airport warned that a return to normal operations "will take time". The British Transport Secretary, Heidi Alexander, summoned the NATS CEO to a meeting, while the company apologised and stated it is investigating the incident, which affected tens of thousands of passengers.
