UK flights to remain significantly disrupted, Heathrow Airport warns

Passengers have been warned that flights in and out of the UK remain "Significantly disrupted" following an air traffic fault on Monday. Hundreds of flights were cancelled due to the glitch, leaving thousands of people stuck at home and abroad. National Air Traffic Services confirmed the fault just after midday on Monday, before it announced at 15:15 BST that it had identified and remedied the issue. London Luton Airport said flights across UK airspace remained subject to delays and cancellation, and people should check with their airline for the status of their flight. Cirium, an aviation data firm, said 3,049 flights would have been due to depart from UK airports on Monday, and a further 3,054 flights scheduled to arrive. Transport Secretary Mark Harper advised "Passengers should contact their airline for up-to-date flight information" and said he would encourage passengers to read the UK Civil Aviation Authority guidance to be aware of their rights when flights are delayed or cancelled.
