UK Air Traffic Control Hit by Technical Fault, Flights Delayed in Scotland and Northern England

This is a reminder that critical national infrastructure remains a single point of failure, and NATS has limited tools beyond flow restrictions once a centre degrades. The disruption is geographically contained for now, but Prestwick's role in managing northern airspace means knock-on delays can spread quickly through airline schedules. The open question is how long the repair takes, and whether the fault points to a systemic issue at the facility rather than an isolated one.
