Thousands of air passengers have been suffering long delays and cancellations after a “technical issue” hit UK air traffic control systems.
People are stuck in the UK and abroad, after National Air Traffic Services limited the number of planes landing.
Airlines and airports warned there were still “significant delays” despite the issue being fixed within hours.
One passenger told BBC News her afternoon flight was not expected to leave until after midnight.
