Flights from East Midlands Airport are back on schedule today after an air traffic control glitch yesterday caused delays across the country. All around the UK on Saturday flights were being delayed because of a computer glitch at the air traffic centre in Swanwick, Hampshire, which deals with flights to the UK's biggest airports, including Heathrow and Gatwick. The glitch meant the air traffic control system could only handle 90 per cent of the usual traffic on Saturday and each delayed landing and take-off caused delays elsewhere. Some airports are experiencing further knock-on effects today but East Midlands Airport lists all flights as being on schedule. The air traffic service NATS apologised on Twitter for the delays.
