Summary
A major tech meltdown at UK air traffic control grounded over 1,000 flights and stranded tens of thousands of travelers, including 65,000 Ryanair passengers. The glitch in NATS’ system halted flight clearances, sparking chaos and delays across airports — especially Manchester. Now fixed, operations are back to normal, but expect a busier day as rescheduled flights pile up. Passengers: double-check with your airline before heading to the gate.
