More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Nats apologised for the fault just after midday on Monday, before it announced at 15:15 BST that it had identified and remedied the issue that was affecting its "ability to automatically process flight plans".

Several airports across the UK, and airlines including Ryanair, EasyJet, Wizz Air, Loganair and Aer Lingus have all warned passengers of delays or cancellations to flights.

British Airways said it had to make "significant changes" to its schedule and advised passengers due to catch short-haul journey to check their flight's status as it "may no longer be operating".

British Airways said it was working with NATS to "understand the impact" of the issue, and said it will keep customers updated, while Aer Lingus urged passengers to check their flight status before going to the airport as "delays and cancellations are likely".

Irish minister of state for transport Jack Chambers warned of a "major" knock-on impact on flights to and from Ireland as a consequence of the issues in the UK.
