London — Outgoing flights from United Kingdom airports were disrupted by air traffic control technical problems, several airports said Wednesday.
Inbound flights are still landing, London’s Gatwick Airport said. Monitoring site Flightradar24 showed that no flights were taking off from UK airports at one point, though planes were later seen departing from several hubs.
An air traffic control center controling 200,000 square miles of airspace experienced a “technical issue,” the country’s National Air Traffic Services (NATS) said in a statement.
The problem was quickly resolved, NATS said. Airlines are working to resume normal operations, it said.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
