UK flight chaos extends to second day as cancellations exceed 1,300; Nats chief to meet transport secretary
A technical issue at UK air traffic control provider Nats has disrupted flights for a second consecutive day, with over 1,300 cancellations reported.
Flights are operating on the second day following the Nats technical failure, though some disruption continues as airlines reposition aircraft and crew. Passengers are advised to confirm flight status with their airline before traveling to the airport.
Nats' chief executive is scheduled to meet with the UK transport secretary as authorities work to restore normal operations. Separately, oil prices have risen towards $100 a barrel for the first time since July, driven by escalating Middle East tensions and supply disruption concerns.
