September 8, 2026
Serious problems have arisen at British airports due to a technical failure in the air traffic control system. Over 400 flights have been canceled and another 600 delayed. Specifically, Heathrow saw nearly 100 flight cancellations. The issue has also affected flights to and from Cyprus, with cancellations from London to Larnaca. Engineers are working on restoring the situation, but the repercussions are likely to continue for several hours.
