Big flight chaos in Great Britain
129
In Great Britain there were big problems on Tuesday. The technology at the air control NATS was broken. The system for the flight data did not work. Therefore many airplanes could not start or land. Over 1.000 flights are cancelled.
Many people had to wait at the airports. The chaos affected London-Heathrow, Manchester and other cities. Also in Germany flights were cancelled. For example in Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf. The company NATS repaired the error in the evening.
It takes time until everything runs normal. The flight guests have certain rights. The airlines must give food and drinks. If a flight goes only tomorrow, they pay a hotel. Cheap airlines like Ryanair are very angry at NATS. They demand that the boss of NATS stops.
