UK airspace has been hit by a network-wide failure for air traffic control systems, a British airline has said.
Loganair warned customers on X, formally known as Twitter, that flights may be subject to delays due to the outage.
In a statement, the Glasgow-based airline said: “There has been a network-wide failure of UK air traffic control computer systems this morning.
“Although we are hopeful of being able to operate most intra-Scotland flights on the basis of local co-ordination and with a minimum of disruption, north-south and international flights maybe subject to delays.
“If you are flying with us today, please check our website for the latest information about your flight before setting off for the airport.”
TalkTV’s Mike Graham is joined by aviation analyst Alex Macheras who predicts that this disruption will cause “chaos.”
In a statement, National Air Traffic Services (NATS), which provides air traffic control services in the UK, said: “We are currently experiencing a technical issue and have applied traffic flow restrictions to maintain safety.
“Engineers are working to find and fix the fault.
“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”

Joe Biden can fix it.
It is Putin's fault !! It is him !!!
Blame Russia and Putin
Good old-fashiond British-made cockup, or Russian or Chinese state sponsored hack-attack??? Imagine the misery for passengers! Imagine the damage to the Economy!
Always on a Bank Holiday… what a coincidence. I’m starting to think that someone doesn’t want us leaving our country or going anywhere.
It's ok im on a flying duck quackery air lines being served lunches of prawn crackers and sweet and sour pork be there soon as the wind is with us at least two hours early
Klaus already predicted this 3 years ago 😂
Wake up people 😮
It's the Russians
I’m landing in London City Airport tomorrow from Egypt it is such a small airport so hope won’t be affected
Looks on purpose to me all to make you stay at home wouldn’t trust a word of what they put out ,traffic delays plane delays ferry delays all by design boats from France never get delayed do they .
Oh no!!!! It must be climate change! No,wait, i mean global warming, global boiling etc, etc, etc.
Putin must be rubbing his hands in glee, look what,s happening to the woke west.
BLIMEY ÌM AMAZED YOUR NOT BLAMING STARMER😅😅😅😅😅😅
Send Rishi to India Again (SRIA!)
Say no to Digital Currency!
All Air Traffic Control must resign!
Russians
Biden approves f16s ,putin shuts down the skies in Europe for a taste of whats to come . TO MUCH FOREIGN INFLUENCE IN BRITAIN.
I was at Manchester airport today. Flights in Europe were stopped, but flights going further away were still flying…
Lmfao the west is falling apart so fast right before everyone's eyes. 😂😂😂
Argh
They must have heard ULEZ IS STARTING TOMORROW 🤔
Russian Hack😮
Total incompetence
blatant sabotage blantant
Always have a back up system and a back up to the back up system, it's not hard is it.
It just happened to 'fail' on the busiest day of the year despite having multiple fail-over back-ups….. Ummmm? Yeah, right! It was a deliberate inside job. Don't like us flying, don't like airlines allowing us to fly. Oh, and don't like us – period!
What are they up to now
Where is their disaster recovery process what an absolute farce
Apparently this was caused by the French….again.
Notice how the French air traffic controllers have strikes during holiday periods, must admit it's strange the snail munchers have caused this delay by filing the wrong flight plan into the system, was it deliberately on purpose I wonder?
Why do we trust the French with flight data…… They can't even wash properly
All profits given to shareholders, unearned income, using offshore banking to pay in nothing to state.
NATS Holdings part privatised air control.
Public part will be to blame of course
Russians are coming 😂
Not the first time? Seems the system could not handle traffic spike?😮
This is what happens as a result of government foreign policies …..ohhh along with online medical records being deleted
UK wide flight disruption, delays and cancellations – “It's awful – Why did nobody see it coming?” – to paraphrase her Majesty our late Queen, Nov 2008.
All those “Experts”
Of course, there's a new inquiry needed so let's hope it's not as futile as the infected blood inquiry has been!
We'll all be dead by the time the results are finalised!
As many of those who were at the beginning of the inquiry, already are!
Aaaaaa I hate this country it's full of morons
Probably caused by some jihadis they hired in order to fill diversity quotas.
Shame it didn't happen to the boats.
😢Russian and or Chinese cyber attack
how long untill they blame Putin??
Does excuse jet2 giving us snickers with a serious allergy on our flight… only a can of coke for ADHD kids, one time offer of drink in warm country… the staff attitude and the way they have not communicated with us, one message offering €15 but it was a heartless lie… get got food the rats will refuse, it was shameful how they treat us all… attitude is their choice!! Out of respect ur hands does not excuse damages incompetence we suffered
My best guess is a Russian hack for supporting Ukraine so strongly… and who could blame them.
There's some russian geeks having a giggle at this. Obviously a cyber attack. Reports of attempted hacks on UK air traffic control since April, now this. Coincidence huh
Nothing works right in Britain.
Imagine building an economy on flights and financial services yet they can’t get either to work. Reform UK or self destruction.
