Radar Glitch Grounds UK Flights, Sparks Nationwide Disruption

A technical failure at the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) Swanwick control centre caused widespread flight disruptions across the UK on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. Major airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Edinburgh, and Birmingham were affected, with outbound flights temporarily grounded as engineers scrambled to resolve the issue.

The radar malfunction led to a shutdown of London’s airspace, forcing aircraft into holding patterns and delaying thousands of passengers. Although the system was restored later in the day, airlines warned that delays would persist into the evening as they worked to clear the backlog.

This incident echoes a similar outage in August 2023, which cost airlines over £100 million in compensation and refunds. Critics have called for improved contingency planning, citing the recurring nature of such failures.

Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for updated flight information as operations gradually return to normal.
