UK flight delays: disruption at airports in London area
Update: Date: 2025-07-30T15:59:23.000Z Title: London Gatwick airport Content: UK air traffic control restricting flights due to 'technical issue' Jakub Krupa Wed 30 Jul 2025 11.59 EDT First published on Wed 30 Jul 2025 11.38 EDT 11.59am EDT 11:59 UK Civil Aviation Authority is actively directing passengers to its guidance for passengers affected by delays, saying 'remember that you have passenger rights if this happens.' 11.57am EDT 11:57 has now reported that the issue impacting outbound flights 'has now been resolved,' but warned that 'there are some delays at London Gatwick while operations resume.' 11.55am EDT 11:55 Flightradar24 data is now showing first flights departing from airports that previously reported disruptions, with British Airways SHT8W flight from London Heathrow Airport to Edinburgh taking off a moment ago, with about 55 minutes delay. Updated at 11.57am EDT 11.52am EDT 11:52 Back in 2023, a previous glitch affecting Nats, the company that provides national air traffic control services in the UK, meant the system was out of action for several hours causing disruption to more than 700,000 passengers. Here is what we know about what happened in 2023: There was also a similar outage at Nats national centre in Swanwick, Hampshire in 2014, that resulted in dozens of flights being cancelled and delayed. 11.48am EDT 11:48 Jakub Krupa The scale of the disruption caused by the outage is yet to become clear, but it's worth remembering that this is happening during what is a very busy summer period, and so could have knock on effects on what is usually an already very tight flight schedule. 11.38am EDT 11:38 We now have a further update from Nats, saying it has restored the system affected by the outage and will work with airlines to minimise disruption caused. Here is their statement: '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.' 11.38am EDT 11:38 Edinburgh Airport has now reported being affected by the technical outage too. In a post on X, it said: 'Due to a technical issue impacting NATS, all departures from Edinburgh Airport are currently being held. We are waiting for further information from NATS and will provide updates when possible. Please check with your airline for the latest information on your flight.' 11.38am EDT 11:38 Flightradar24 tracking service reported earlier that 'as per Eurocontrol, technical issues have closed the London CTA, affecting flights across the southern UK.' 11.38am EDT 11:38 UK flights in the London area are affected by delays after Nats, the UK air traffic control authority, said it was restricting flights due to a 'technical issue' at NATS Swanwick air traffic control centre 'in order to ensure safety, which is always our first priority.' In a statement on social media, it added: 'Our engineers are working hard to resolve the problem as quickly as possible and we are working closely with airlines to help minimise disruption. At this stage we cannot say how long it will be before operations are back to normal.' Gatwick Airport reported impact on all outbound flights across the UK, while London City Airport said 'flights in and out of London airports - including London City Airport - might be delayed or subject to cancellation.'

Musk's America Party can't get off the ground and was just to ‘blow off steam' about Trump's bill
Elon Musk may have proposed the America Party as a rival to the United States' two main political parties, but those familiar with the tech billionaire say his threat was only an act of rebellion against President Donald Trump 's One Big Beautiful Bill. After his fallout with Trump and departure from the White House, Musk is transitioning back to focusing on his various companies and finding firmer footing in the political sphere. Part of his journey to cementing himself in politics included pitching the idea of an alternative party to Republicans or Democrats. At first, the idea rattled some who believe Musk's deep pockets and influence on the public could be enough to shake up the 2026 midterm elections. As the wealthiest person in the world, Musk has enough resources to push candidates forward – as he did for Trump during the presidential election. But nearly a month after promising to form the party, Musk has not filed any official paperwork. Tesla investor James Fishback told Axios he believes Musk was just trying to 'blow off steam' after his heated fallout with Trump. "I look at the half-life of how this guy operates," Fishback told the news outlet last week. "It has been 17 days since he said he was going to start the America Party. There's no filing, no candidate. There's nothing of substance." That's compared to Musk's eagerness to implement ideas swiftly. For example, pushing to have Tesla Robotaxis, or self-driving taxis, roll out in Austin, Texas, or adding his X artificial intelligence system, Grok, implemented in Tesla vehicles. Even while working in the White House, Musk was quick to begin installing his Department of Government Efficiency Team in federal agencies and departments in order to make sweeping cuts. Much of the criticism from Democrats about his actions was that decisions were made too quickly. However, he does not appear to be taking that same fast and hard approach to officially forming the America Party. Musk's motivation behind publicly declaring his desire to create a new political party arose from his bitter feud with Trump. While tensions between the two appear to have simmered for now, at one point, Trump and Musk traded jabs at one another online. Trump threatened to pull Musk's various lucrative government contracts, while Musk took credit for helping elect Trump with his financial backing. The only official political group formed under Musk is the America PAC, which Musk bankrolled to support Trump's campaign. . Despite Musk's efforts, the liberal candidate won. It's unclear if Musk will officially form the America Party, which would require filing with the Federal Election Commission. But even if he doesn't, Musk could still use his influence and wealth through his PAC to bolster candidates.
