Leeds Bradford Airport flight delays and cancellations: A list of flight changes as air traffic control technical issues continue to affect Yorkshire travellers

A glitch in the UK air traffic control system has caused widespread disruption to flights across the country over the weekend - including Yorkshire’s only airport Leeds Bradford (LBA).

The National Air Traffic Services (NATS), the country’s provider of air traffic control services, announced that it has applied traffic flow restrictions on Monday (August 21) to maintain safety following a technical issue.

Flights arriving into LBA and departing from the airport continue to be affected, with long delays and a few cancellations.

A statement was published on Ryanair’s website: “As a result of the latest UK ATC Failure on Mon 28 Aug, more than 20 Ryanair aircraft were unable to get back to their home base last evening and a considerable number of our crews ran out of their legal duty hours limit yesterday.

“Today, Tues 29 Aug, passengers can expect some flight disruptions as we work to get our aircraft and crews back on schedule. We expect some flight cancellations and considerable flight delays today caused by this latest, still unexplained, NATS failure.

“We apologise sincerely to customers for these cancellations and delays. Our teams are working hard to minimise inconvenience to our passengers. Please check your Ryanair app for latest flight updates.”

LBA has released a statement to customers: “Due to the recent nationwide technical glitch impacting air traffic control, flights from LBA are still facing disruptions.

“Before you make your way to the airport, we strongly recommend checking your flight’s status with your airline. Your travel plans are important to us, and this will help ensure a smoother journey.

“Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this situation.”

Jet2 and TUI airlines have responded to the situation.
