Which? responds to air traffic control issue causing flight delays and disruption across UK

1 min read

Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel said:
"These air traffic control disruptions will leave many travellers feeling concerned about flight delays or possible cancellations.

"If your flight is cancelled or delayed, you're unlikely to be owed compensation by the airline as the technical issue is considered an 'extraordinary circumstance' and out of the airline's control. However, you do have a right to food or a hotel stay depending on the length of the delay, but be sure you keep the receipts as you will need to claim this back from the airline.

“If you are due to travel today or tomorrow, check the advice from your airport, tour operator, airline apps, or airport social media feeds for the most up to date advice.”
