## Resource

Air traffic across the UK ground to a halt Tuesday, September 8th, when NATS’ control system crashed, triggering massive flight delays and cancellations at airports like Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Engineers scrambled to fix the glitch while airlines—including EasyJet—offered refunds, hotel stays, and rebookings to stranded passengers. With nearly 60% of flights at Edinburgh delayed, travelers faced chaos as the interconnected aviation network buckled under the strain, exposing just how fragile our skies really are.
