> Flights across the UK were disrupted by a technical issue at Nats’ air traffic control centre in Prestwick, Ayrshire. Nats said it was unrelated to the software defect that caused 2,000 cancellations earlier this month. The issue has been fixed and the system is operating at full capacity. Cirium estimated around 200 flights were cancelled or did not operate today.
