Air traffic in the United Kingdom

TV RECORD EUROPA10 September 2026 at 13:08

More than 2,000 flights were cancelled in just two days in the United Kingdom. The situation was caused by a technical failure that affected the country's air traffic control system. This interruption caused great inconvenience to passengers and airlines operating in British territory. The technical problem lasted for two consecutive days, resulting in the massive cancellation of air travel. The failure in the air traffic control system prevented the normal management of air traffic in the United Kingdom, forcing authorities to cancel thousands of flights. This situation affected both domestic and international flights departing from or arriving in the country. The information was reported by the FALA PORTUGAL program, which broadcasts on TV RECORD.
