Significant delays being suffered by passengers are the result of the latest problem to hit National Air Traffic Services’ multimillion-pound computer systems.
The country’s leading provider of air traffic control services operates from two centres: Swanwick in Hampshire, which opened in 2002 and covers 200,000 square miles of air space over England and Wales; and Prestwick in South Ayrshire, covering northern England, Scotland and out into the north-east Atlantic.
