UK air traffic control glitch ‘remedied’ but hundreds of flights cancelled

Thousands of passengers bound for UK airports remain stranded on Monday following a “technical issue” that hit the country’s air traffic control systems, which has since been “identified and remedied” but the disruption caused with hundreds of flight cancellations is expected to continue into the week. The disruption comes on one of the busiest travel days of the year – with many people returning from holidays on the last Bank Holiday weekend of the summer.
