- The problem occurred at Nats' Prestwick centre but was fixed, described as a 'connectivity issue' unrelated to previous software glitch on September 8.
- Around 200 flights were cancelled or didn't fly as of 13:45 BST, with ongoing knock-on effects.
- Affected passengers include families whose holidays were put in jeopardy, and elderly travelers forced to disembark.
- Major airlines question Nats' competence, with Ryanair calling for CEO Martin Rolfe's resignation.
