Warning to passengers as UK airports again hit with ATC issue

NATS says a technical issue is causing disruption

Passengers through Ronaldsway Airport today are being warned an issue affecting UK air traffic control may result in delays to some flights.

NATS says a technical issue is causing disruption.

There's a problem at its Prestwick centre in Scotland, and engineers are on site investigating what's happened.

It said: ""Airports south of Manchester are broadly unaffected, however flights heading north and flights departing Scottish airports are currently subject to some delay."

Airline easyJet has said this second incident in a matter of weeks 'calls into question the resilience of NATS' systems and demonstrates the need for firm actions to prevent these repeated failures'.

Travellers on the Island are being asked to check the latest status of their flights with their airline before travelling.
