Compensation ‘unlikely' for passengers caught in flight chaos
Hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers hit by flight delays are unlikely to receive compensation, experts have warned. The UK's airspace was closed for over an hour on Wednesday after an air traffic control issue affected the London area, grounding flights across the country. However, consumer group Which? said the issue would be classified as 'extraordinary circumstance' that was out of airlines' control, making compensation claims unlikely to succeed. Cirium, an aviation data company, calculated that more than 3,000 planes were scheduled to depart UK airports that day and a similar number were due to arrive, with a combined total of more than 1.1 million seats. The issue, which came at the start of the school holiday season, was understood to be caused by 'technical issues' as a result of 'radar failure'. It was expected to cause lengthy delays, with some London passengers facing a wait of more than three hours to take-off. Naomi Leach, of Which? Travel, said while they were entitled to some benefits, compensation was unlikely. She said: 'If your flight is cancelled or delayed, you're unlikely to be owed compensation by the airline as the technical issue is considered an 'extraordinary circumstance' and out of the airline's control. 'However, you do have a right to food or a hotel stay depending on the length of the delay, but be sure you keep the receipts as you will need to claim this back from the airline. 'If you are due to travel today or tomorrow, check the advice from your airport or tour operator, or airline apps and airport social media feeds, for the most up-to-date advice.' On its website, the Citizens Advice Bureau also said that passengers were unlikely to get compensation if a delay was outside an airline's control, such as through bad weather or security risks. Thomas Cook advised passengers to contact their airline for guidance. A National Air Traffic Service spokesman said: 'Our engineers have now restored the system that was affected this afternoon. We are in the process of resuming normal operations in the London area. 'We continue to work closely with airline and airport customers to minimise disruption. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.' A similar air traffic control issue grounded flights at UK airports in the summer of 2023. More than 700,000 passengers were stranded when flights were grounded following a technical glitch, with the cost to airlines, airports and passengers and others estimated to be around the £100m mark. Reacting to the latest incident, the chief executive of one major airline called for the resignation of National Air Traffic Service chief executive Martin Rolfe. Neal McMahon, of Ryanair, said: 'It is outrageous that passengers are once again being hit with delays and disruption due to Martin Rolfe's continued mismanagement.'

'Technical problems' at Nats control centre prompt UK-wide flight delay warning
On Wednesday (30 July) afternoon, Nats said: 'As a result of a technical issue at Nats Swanwick air traffic control centre, we are limiting the number of aircraft flying in the London control area in order to ensure safety, which is always our first priority. We apologise for any delays this may cause." UK airports, including Edinburgh, East Midlands, Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester reported delays to departures as most have to use the London area airspace. However, in a further statement at 4.25pm, Nats added: "Our engineers have now restored the system that was affected this afternoon. We are in the process of resuming normal operations in the London area. "We continue to work closely with airline and airport customers to minimise disruption. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.. Please check with your airline on the status of your flight.' Nats handles around 2.2 million flights and 250 million passengers travelling in UK airspace and provides services to 14 UK airports. It also manages all upper airspace across the UK, meaning flights that are crossing the UK but not landing here will also be affected.

Airlines and airports have warned of delays on Wednesday after a UK air traffic control technical problem, which caused major disruption, was resolved by 5:10pm, the UK's air traffic control service airports and airlines were working through a backlog of flights. Earlier, thousands of planes across the UK were grounded at airports including Heathrow, Stanstead, Manchester and Edinburgh due to the issue. The air traffic systems, which are run by NATS, were down for about 20 the issue was resolved, NATS said: "Departures at all airports have resumed and we are working with affected airlines and airports to clear the backlog safely." Earlier, NATS said it had limited the number of planes in the London area because of a "technical issue" at its Swanwick air traffic control the time airports including Gatwick said they had been forced to ground all departing flights in the air traffic control issue had been resolved, British Airways said it was still dealing with its impact."While this is entirely outside of our control, we want to apologise to our customers for any inconvenience and assure them that our teams are working hard to get their journeys back on track as quickly as possible," the airline said.A Heathrow spokesperson said: "We are advising passengers to check with their airline before travelling. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."NATS apologised to everyone affected by the issue. It is the second time in two years that NATS has suffered a major previous one, which happened on a summer bank holiday weekend in 2023, affected more than 700,000 chief operating officer Neal McMahon said it was "outrageous" that another air traffic control issue has disrupted the travel plans of thousands of passengers, and called for NATS chief executive Martin Rolfe to resign.
