Hungarian flights also affected by the collapse of British air traffic
There are 12-hour delays and flight cancellations because British air traffic controllers have detected a technical malfunction. The issue is also affecting Hungarian flights.
British air traffic has collapsed
A network-wide failure was reported by one airline, but British air traffic control said British airspace was not closed.
Even if a complete closure was avoided, severe restrictions had to be imposed, causing significant disruption to air traffic. Sky News adds that the problem is compounded by the fact that it is happening on one of the busiest days of the year, a public holiday in the UK.
According to the air traffic control, they are currently working to resolve and eliminate the problem. However, they added that it is not known at this stage how long it will take to get everything up and running smoothly. In fact, they are uncertain what may have caused the technical problem.
Hungarian flights are also affected
The collapse of British air traffic is causing problems not only in the UK, but also across Europe, including Hungary.
According to Eurocontrol, the European air traffic control authority, there are “very significant delays” due to the failure of the British flight data processing system. The Irish air traffic control adds that the technical problem is also limiting the capacity of UK airspace, which indirectly affects all countries.
If you check Budapest Airport, the flight information on their website shows that several flights to London have been cancelled. In addition, many flights may have drastic delays in departure and arrival, writes airportal.hu.
Ryanair flights to Stansted Airport currently do not take off before 11 p.m Central European Time. In addition, British Airways flights will certainly not arrive in the Hungarian capital before 3 a.m.
Loganair has already responded by informing its passengers that due to the air traffic problems, they can rebook free of charge on any flight within the next 48 hours.

You don’t suppose this was done deliberately so that more and more people throw up their hands in the air and proclaim “I’m never flying again!”? After all, it’s what the globalist-socialist overlords want to achieve through 2030.
