Flights at Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast airports faced delays on Monday after an air traffic control failure at NATS’ Prestwick centre in Scotland.



NATS, the UK’s air traffic control provider, said flights heading north and those departing from Scottish airports were affected. Airports south of Manchester were largely operating normally.



“Airports south of Manchester are broadly unaffected, however flights heading north and flights departing Scottish airports are currently subject to some delay,” NATS said.

The disruption came less than two weeks after a separate technical problem grounded flights across the UK and led to around 2,000 cancellations.



NATS said Monday’s incident was “unrelated to the issue two weeks ago”, which was caused by a software defect.
