## Resource

Another major air traffic control meltdown hit the UK, grounding nearly 1,400 flights across Heathrow and Gatwick as Nats’ system failed—this is the third big crash in three years. Chaos spilled into Wednesday with 17 flights canceled at Scotland’s top airports, forcing travelers to check airlines directly and avoid airports unless confirmed. Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen saw dozens of cancellations, with lingering disruptions as crews and flights scramble to recover. The incident underscores how fragile air travel infrastructure is—and how one glitch can ripple through the entire system.
