Air travel chaos: Could it happen again?

The travel plans of hundreds of thousands of people were thrown into chaos on one of the busiest days of the year for airports, as the UK's air traffic control systems suffered a "technical fault".

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson looks at what went wrong and if a similar problem could happen again.

His guests are former air traffic controller Michele Robson, who was stuck at Jersey airport yesterday, and travel editor for The Independent, Simon Calder.
