Flight delays expected nationwide

Mon, 28 Aug 2023


Ronaldsway are to expect delays today (August 28) due to a “failure with a key UK ATC system” which is causing large delays to most flights across the whole of the UK.

The airport said that it “kindly advise those affected to contact the Airlines handling agent or use the Airlines app to keep up to date or to look for further information”.

So far the departure board at the IOM airport is showing delays on all flights from 11:45 - 14:45. 

NATS, the national air traffic controllers, said in a statement: "We are currently experiencing a technical issue and have applied traffic flow restrictions to maintain safety. Engineers are working to find and the fix the fault.

"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

At 12:40pm NATS added that: 
 
"We are continuing to work hard to resolve the technical issue. To clarify, UK airspace is not closed, we have had to apply air traffic flow restrictions which ensures we can maintain safety."
