UK flights disrupted by ATC tech glitch

London [UK], July 31: Flights across the UK are being disrupted after air traffic control (ATC) provider Nats suffered a technical problem.
The company said it is limiting the number of aircraft which can fly in the "London control area".
The technical issue relates to Nats' control centre in Swanwick, Hampshire.
Gatwick airport said it is affecting all outbound flights across the UK. Several flights scheduled to arrive at UK airports are being forced to conduct holding patterns or divert elsewhere.
