I am just reading that flights to and from the UK have been cancelled and delayed due to a computer glitch at the main air traffic control centre in Hampshire. It’s not been a good few weeks for air passengers and you have to feel sorry for those passengers affected.

Hat Tip: BBC News

I’ve just found out that Air traffic controllers have said they hoped to restore the system by early evening. Looking at the Manchester airport arrivals and departures, most of the flights are still being delayed by 1 to 2 hours.

It might be that I have been slow to pick up on this news and everything is slowly getting back to normal, so if you are departing any UK airport tonight or tomorrow morning I would suggest that you contact the airport or visit their website.

Have you been affected by the grounding of flights? Leave your comments and I will publish them here. As usual I will update this post as I receive more information about this incident.
