U.K. airports started their week with dozens of delays after a network-wide failure of the country's air traffic control systems.
The flight delays came at one of the busiest travel weekends in that nation, as Monday is a holiday long weekend and historically a busy travel day.
Britain’s national air traffic control system issued a statement saying that they were experiencing a technical issue and had applied traffic flow restrictions as a safety precaution.
Since it affected their ability to automatically process flight plans, they were being input manually, making for a much slower process. Jaden Lee-Lincoln reports.
