Chaos erupted at all of Britain's major airports this afternoon with flights out of London grounded because of a 'technical issue'. Summer holidaymakers were stuck on the tarmac or rediverted to European airports after an air traffic control failure, which started earlier on Wednesday afternoon. London Heathrow, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Stansted, Manchester, Gatwick, and Luton are among those affected. Air traffic control provider Nats has since 'restored the system' and is in the 'process of resuming normal operations', it confirmed, but further delays are inevitable.
