NATS equipment failure at Prestwick triggers delays across UK and Ireland
A technical issue at the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) Prestwick Centre in South Ayrshire is causing significant flight delays across the UK and Ireland. Engineers are currently investigating the equipment failure, which affects airspace over Scotland and northern England. While distinct from the software defect that canceled 2,000 flights earlier this month, the current disruption has led to cancellations and long waits at major hubs including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Belfast.
