LONDON: Britain's National Air Traffic Service had to restrict the flow of aircraft and manually input flight plans on Monday due to a technical issue, it said, with airlines and airports warning of delays and cancellations across Europe.

Irish air traffic control provider AirNav Ireland said the issue, which has struck during a public holiday in parts of Britain, was resulting in"significant delays for flights across Europe that are travelling to, from or through UK airspace". Earlier Scottish airline Loganair said on social media site X, previously known as Twitter, that there had been a network-wide failure of UK air traffic control computer systems.

Manchester Airport and London Stansted warned of potential disruption to flights, while others including London Luton and Birmingham said they were working to understand the impact and the timescale in which normal operations could resume.
