Viele Maschinen müssen wegen einer Störung in Großbritannien vorerst am Boden bleiben. Die Auswirkungen sind auch in Deutschland zu spüren.
London – A technical malfunction at air traffic control has caused chaos at several British airports. According to reports, many aircraft were unable to take off as planned. The affected airports included London's Heathrow and Gatwick, Stansted, as well as those in Manchester and Birmingham. Flight data portal Flightradar24 reported over 600 flights canceled by evening.
Problems were also felt at German airports, with flights from Frankfurt or Düsseldorf to London being canceled, as seen on the respective airports' websites. Similar situations were observed at airports in other countries, such as Zurich. In Munich, announcements indicated there would be no more flights to London on Tuesday. Travelers were urged to book a night's stay, according to a dpa reporter.
The company Nats, responsible for air traffic control in many locations, stated the issue was with the flight scheduling system. By late afternoon, a platform update on X reported a technical fix had been implemented, and the flight system was beginning to normalize.
