Situation around flights disruption 'evolving', says Suella Braverman

Suella Braverman says the ongoing disruption facing Britain's incoming and outgoing flights is an 'evolving' issue.

Thousands of air travellers around the world face delays on Monday as Britain's air traffic control system is hit by a breakdown that is slowing takeoffs and landings across the UK on one of the busiest travel days of the year. Speaking from Manchester, the home secretary says engineers are working intensively to find the cause.

More than three hours after it reporting the 'technical issue', flight control operator National Air Traffic Services says it has 'identified and remedied' the problem. NATS says the outage has hit its ability to process flight plans automatically, meaning the plans have to be input manually, a much slower process.

Have they tried turning it off and on again!

13 years of cutting funding to every part of infrastructure leads to...

[MegaKapo]

You promised to stop the boats not the planes.

[SarahRickard]

Nothing like stating the bleeding obvious!

What a waste of space - complete void of human being!

[chrissomerset]

Dorries’ ego was leaving the country and it overwhelmed the system

[stocktonjoans]

no idea what's going on, no back up plan in place and no idea what to do next, typical tory incompetence

[fatherjack]

"social function in a brewery" and her and her governments inability to organise one, springs to mind.

Why don't you arrest this woman creating chaos from here to Mauritius island 🏝️

[Mossyz.]

Have you tried holding Ctrl & Alt & Del .

Sabotage? These communications and transportations “problems” are happening way too often now in the West. Why? You might not hear it all because they are being reported locally in our states, but it’s getting a little too exaggerated. Not all involve digital technology.

[anthonyclegg]

Have they tried putting a bob in the meter. 😂.?.

[vcztci]

My wife and daughter are at luton and flights are being cancelled left and right, including theirs. Its mayhem! My daughter called and there was screaming and crying in the background, no information- complete shambles.

All because NATS uses the cheapest sw devs and engineers

[enigmabletchley]

It's an evolving issue of a national system affecting the system nationally.
Michael Spicer is going to have a field day with this interview...

[lordflashheart]

"Evolving", so no clue then eh?

[stevebon]

All to do with properly testing any software or updates to your critical system. This is not the first time they have made this very important error.

[jasonuren]

Get John Cusack on the job. He'll make sure all the planes take off and land safely 😂😂😂

[cbarronie]

Interesting that they cut it just she said "they are working intensively WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION"

[YouTubemessedupmyhandle]

Does anything work better after 13 years of Tories?

[jodders]

I don't lnow why anybody's asking Braverman about flights. She can't even arrange 1 human rights abusing flight to Rwanda!

I'm listening on mute and I kid you not I can still hear the garbage
