Create Account Operations at Heathrow, the biggest airport in the UK, came back after a brief disruption to takeoffs and landings, while Gatwick airport nearby also said normal service resumed. Engineers at the NATS Swanwick site, a major facility for air-traffic control in the UK, restored the system after a fault in the afternoon and were 'in the process of resuming normal operations in the London area,' the service said. 'We continue to work closely with airline and airport customers to minimize disruption,' NATS said in a statement. The outage hit air traffic during the busiest summer holiday period, hobbling flights for airlines including British Airways and discount specialist Easyjet Plc. The latest fault follows a full-day outage at Heathrow airport in March after a fire at a substation cut electricity supply to the sprawling hub.

London City Airport, which specializes in smaller aircraft that are popular with corporate travellers, was also affected. Two years ago, the UK airspace shut down because of an air traffic control system glitch. The issue was fixed after a few hours but caused heavy disruption to departures and arrivals across the country. The Swanwick operations room manages the en-route airspace over England and Wales up to the Scottish border as well as lower-altitude traffic to and from London's airports. The center, which was inaugurated in 2002, and on which Lockheed Martin Corp. was prime contractor, was designed to give NATS 30% more capacity, helping it handle 3 million flights a year by 2020 from about 2 million when it opened.

Create Account In a statement on social media, the airport confirmed a 'serious incident' involving what it termed a general aviation aircraft. Images posted on social media show a plume of fire and black smoke emanating from the crash site. The plane involved is said to be 12 meters (39 feet) long. Witness John Johnson, who was at the airport with his family, said he saw a 'big fireball' after the plane 'crashed head first into the ground.' 'It took off and about three or four seconds after taking off, it started to bank heavily to its left, and then within a few seconds of that happening, it more or less inverted and crashed just head first into the ground,' he said. 'There was a big fireball.' Johnson said the airport's fire service responded straight away, with two fire engines sent to the crash site, followed by local police, ambulance and fire services.

Essex Police said it had been alerted just before 4 p.m. local time to the 'serious incident' at the relatively small airport, which is around 45 miles (72 kilometers) east of the capital. No details on where the plane was heading or how many people were on board were immediately disclosed. 'We are working with all emergency services at the scene now and that work will be ongoing for several hours,' Essex Police said. As a precaution due to their proximity to the incident, police evacuated a local golf club and rugby club. The local member of parliament, David Burton-Sampson, urged people to stay away and let the emergency services do their work. 'My thoughts are with everyone involved,' he said. According to the airport's website, four flights scheduled to take off on Sunday afternoon were canceled. Golf Toronto & GTA Toronto & GTA World Toronto Raptors

The Competition Bureau is investigating whether the policy discourages third-party sellers from offering products at a lower price on other sites — therefore lessening price competition among online marketplaces, according to a statement. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The announcement coincides with the beginning of the Amazon Prime Day sales event, which runs from July 8 to 11. U.S. shoppers will spend nearly $13 billion during the event, according to EMarketer Inc. The Canadian regulator is continuing a separate probe of Amazon's marketing practices, which it said may contain 'potentially false or misleading claims.'

If you've been stateside and enjoyed the hot sweetness and have since come close to madness trying to find it in Ireland, you're in luck — as Domino's have announced that the drizzle is coming to pizzas in Ireland.

Pic: Jason Alden/Bloomberg via Getty Images 'We've blended sweet, pure honey and fiery chilli flakes to create a drizzle that's so delicious; it might just become the talk of the hive,' Domino's Director of Innovation Louise Pilkington said. 'In addition to tasting The Ultimate Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza, customers will be able to add Hot Honey Drizzle to their Create Your Own pizza creations. It's been so exciting to bring one of my favourite ingredients to the Domino's menu!' As well as adding the hot honey drizzle to the Create Your Own pizzas, hot honey lovers will also be delighted to know that the Ultimate Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza will be added to the menu — with the traditional pepperoni pizza being drizzled with the hot honey. The Ultimate Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza is hitting Irish shops — for four weeks only. Pic: Domino's Pizza Those who are hot honey lovers will need to act fast, however, as the drizzle will be around only for four weeks. The hot honey drizzle came as the pizza company revealed a more controversial menu item earlier this year — a garlic sauce flavoured Easter egg.
